AP: Poor Writing or Censorship - YOU DECIDE

Edited on Thu Jul-26-07 04:03 PM by jackstraw45

HEADLINE of article:

FBI director contradicts Gonzales

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070726/ap_on_go_co/congress_gonzales_41;_ylt=Avlp3yBy_FpcpthPGMQTB5CMwfIE

Can ANYONE find where Mueller contradicts Gonzales in that article? Did it get cut? Sloppy writing? Sloppy editing? Corporate Media backtracking?

1. Weird - it doesn't say anything about what the contradiction is.

It sets it up - says the guy contradicted Gonzalez - but doesn't quote him or offer anything about what the contradiction was, and instead goes on to talk about Democrats.

Weird indeed.

Looks like sloppy writing to me.

5. Yahoo is a bad news source

you can get a better feed for AP news than them
I have seen it too many times how they hack a story
from its original source be it AP, API, Reuters etc.
