Another day, another AP hitjob.
Kos noted that Charles Babington had to have written the piece bashing Obamas speech was finished. 603 words, edited, proofed, and posted online 23 minutes after Obama finished...and he got the length of the speech wrong.
Olbermann condemned the Babington piece, and told him to "find new work".
The always reliable Editor and Publisher has a good rundown, and includes the factoid that, "Even as Babington was hitting Obama for a lack of specifics, AP was transmitting a second piece by another reporter, Jim Drinkard, that offered a detailed look at seven specific policy proposals in the speech (and expressed doubts about all of them)."
Note that Ron Fournier just wrote a piece Analysis: Palin's age, inexperience rival Obama's (no links to the AP...I'm still boycotting them for going after bloggers, see here.

MoveOn.org Targets Ron Fournier for Bias
He's head of the AP's Washington bureau.
He previously interviewed for a job with McCain, and he's thoroughly in the tank for him, and he's been in the tank for the 'Phants for years.
He wrote a mash note to Karl Rove over the Pat Tillman phoney story, when he had done no stories on either Tillman nor Rove.
More details here.
Here's hoping that he finds a new line of work, because he ain't a journalist, he's a PR flack.

Washington AP Chief Interviewed for a Position with the McCain Campaign in 2006
Yet another reason to continue to maintain my boycott of the Associated press.
It should be noted that while Karl Rove was concocting the phony story about Pat Tillman's death, Ron Fournier wrote him a mash note, telling him to, "Keep up the fight."
