right wing rhetoric.AP reporters have a way of wording an article that in the end belittle any progressive candidate...
Haven't pushed the panic button but the corporate mafia money being stacked against us worries the hell out of me.The corporate mafia has found their puppet..I think this puppet may be worse than Bush
..Its just different than any election I have ever observed whereby a totally unqualified candidate is able to be in this tight of a race against a candidate whose qualifications are so much superior is just unbelievable...here in the USA...

(42,239 posts)The Associated Press is an American news agency. The AP is a cooperative owned by its contributing newspapers, radio and television stations in the United States, which both contribute stories to the AP and use material written by its staff journalists. Many newspapers and broadcasters outside the United States are AP subscribers, paying a fee to use AP material without being contributing members of the cooperative.
As of 2005, the news collected by the AP is published and republished by more than 1,700 newspapers, in addition to more than 5,001 television and radio broadcasters. The photograph library of the AP consists of over 10 million images. The Associated Press operates 243 news bureaus, and it serves at least 120 countries, with an international staff located all over the world.
Associated Press also operates The Associated Press Radio Network, which provides newscasts twice hourly for broadcast and satellite radio and television stations. The AP Radio also offers news and public affairs features, feeds of news sound bites, and long form coverage of major events.
As part of their cooperative agreement with The Associated Press, most member news organizations grant automatic permission for the AP to distribute their local news reports. For example, on page two of every edition of The Washington Post, the newspaper's masthead includes the statement, "The Associated Press is entitled exclusively to use for re-publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and all local news of spontaneous origin published herein."

With regard your sweeping statement - please highlight the right wing rhetoric here :

Loaded negative language to describe Dems. Republican talking points repeated without fact checking.
It was very very bad when Bushco-Rove Hack Ron Fournier was the head of political reporting. He has moved on to, but his policies of using negative language about Democrats and passing on Republican talking points off with out criticism appears to continue.

(2,515 posts)Of AP stories. Often accused of left-wing bias with many in organization/management publicly supporting President Obama - it is actually one of the least biased news sources.

Further, the Presidency is not about qualifications, at least not entirely, it is about policy, it is about vision. Talking about qualifications sorta reminds me of 2008 when there was a candidate who had only been a Senator about 3 years when he started running for President. All of his opponents had more experience in the legislature, and much of the media got behind him. Remember the SNL spoof about the Clinton-Obama debates? That spoof was based in some reality.
