Mike,

I think that if things stay on their current course, the AP is likely to start resembling the BBC, the very dominant, government-friendly news outlet in the UK. Thankfully, the Internet will provide lots of competition and we are learning every day how little most Americans enjoy the monolithic center-left news we’ve been getting from them and their members. The AP is a not-for-profit owned and controlled by member newspapers. I continue to be puzzled why they are letting the AP destroy their businesses, and suspect sooner or later there will be a correction.
