I understand the feeling that the AP is partisan and I support the complaints. But I've seen no information that talks about other options. I'm just as upset about the quality of the MSM as most here. Still the declining revenues of newspapers is a real problem. The vast majority of the internet "news" sources is commentary on the reporting done by newspapers. The revenue stream from internet sites isn't sufficient to support that kind of reporting. Bad as it can be without the reporting from newspapers who will be watching and reporting without them? Who is going to be able to afford to pick up the slack? Most newspapers are cutting their staff and if they also withdraw from the AP it will cut back on its staff too. Its a big problem and I am very worried about it.
