Editorial bias at the AP

U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,380 By The Associated Press May 09 4:18 PM U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,378 By The Associated Press May 8, 7:25 PM U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,376 By The Associated Press May 7, 6:57 PM U.S. military deaths in Iraq at 3,373 By The Associated Press May 6, 6:45 PM

And, on and on it goes; the daily count of U.S. losses in Iraq. But, here is one headline that will never have an A.P. by-line:

U.S. abortion rate at 1.3 million per year

These deaths by abortion are ongoing but are not reported. Why not? What's the difference?

The difference stems from a strong bent, at the A.P., towards the leftist agenda; an agenda which includes being pro-abortion and includes having a rabid dislike of the current Administration.

So, the selective reporting by the A.P. on Iraq, including the daily count of losses, is done to advance their anti-Administration agenda. Likewise, advancement of their pro-abortion stance is accomplished by ignoring similar abortion statistics.

These two examples illustrate the selective approach to reporting at the A.P. It is apparent objective reporting at the A.P. has fallen victim to leftist ideology. As such, the A.P. fails at the role of unbiased provider of information to the public.
