A.P. To Distribute Nonprofits' Investigative Journalism

The NY Times is reporting on the Associated Press's decision to distribute the investigative journalism of four nonprofit groups. This ought to benefit both struggling newspapers, which have cut investigative staff, and the nonprofits where, we can hope, many of those laid-off journalists are plying their trade. It's refreshing to see this kind of forward thinking coming out of an organization not normally known for its progressiveness. "Starting on July 1, the A.P. will deliver work by the Center for Public Integrity, the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and ProPublica to the 1,500 American newspapers that are A.P. members, which will be free to publish the material. The A.P. called the arrangement a six-month experiment that could later be broadened to include other investigative nonprofits, and to serve its nonmember clients, which include broadcast and Internet outlets."

AP also is non-profit

Just for the edification of the reader... the AP also is a not-for-profit cooperative [wikipedia.org].

More propaganda

[Kohath]

I don't know about the others, but ProPublica [wikipedia.org] is a left-wing propaganda organization. It was founded by Herbert and Marion Sandler, from Time's 25 people to blame for the financial crisis [time.com]. It has provided propaganda stories [indenvertimes.com] to newspapers around the country disguised as news....

On second thought, that should fit right in with the rest of what the AP distributes.

The Center of Public Integrity broke the Clinton Lincoln Bedroom scandal.

Yep, they're clearly a left wing agitprop group...

At least try to come up with some better FUD.

That doesn't change the fact that at the time of her outing she was, as has been told by the CIA themselves, covert. Just because she was a desk jockey doesn't mean her status wasn't covert. She was overseeing a CIA front company called Brewster and Jennings, operating in Iran at the time of her outing. The facts are all out there. I'll trust the CIA on this matter over you, and the CIA has said, in a court of law and in their own documentation, that she was covert at the time of the outing. She was a NOC agent.
