AP has a consistent anti-police bias, for example, referring to "the 50-shot killing of an unarmed groom-to-be on his wedding day". Their article is designed to create sympathy for a person who talked and acted like he had a [[gun]] and then resisted arrest. The AP account reads more like an [[editorial]] than a straight [[news story]]. It is not until 400 words into the story that you read the judge's reason for acquitting the accused cops.

AP does a biased piece on GOP VP nominee [[Sarah Palin]]. First paragraph includes ''"the latest in a string of disclosures that left the McCain campaign defending the thoroughness of its background check "''. There isn't a string of disclosures. Everything about her was public with the exception of the pregnant teen daughter. Second paragraph, ''"her husband, Todd, had been arrested for drunken driving two decades ago"'', pathetic tabloid smear. ''"little experience"'', liberal media always ready to drive that message home with Palin, but rigorously defend [[Obama]]'s lack of experience as the real heartbeat-away from the [[Presidency]]. ''"In a brief respite from partisanship, Democratic rival Barack Obama weighed in"'' The [[AP]] should have just wrote- ''Obama, staying high above political mudslinging because he is just that good.''. ''"the pregnancy of Palin's daughter, Bristol, was aimed at rebutting Internet rumors that Palin's own youngest son, born in April, was actually the daughter's."'' AP giving credibility to Obama supporters' [[Daily Kos]]'s gross slander, actually like it so much, repeat twice in the article. "The national convention... already had been relegated to a distant second to the hurricane on TV." AP thinks Americans can care less about the GOP. ''"McCain's team dispatched a dozen operatives and lawyers to Alaska, fueling speculation that a comprehensive examination of Palin's past was incomplete..."'' Rumors masquerading as worthy news with an actual GOP rebuttal cited "Palin underwent a ``full and complete'' review." <ref>[http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/news/story.jsp?floc=DC-top&idq=/ff/story/0001/20080901/2353662008.htm&maxphotos=6&phototerm='bristol+palin'&maxstories=4&storyterm='sarah+palin' Palin says daughter, 17, is 5 months pregnant] AP, September 1, 2008</ref>
