Really? I guess nobody carries the AP wire service, huh?

You were wrong before, and you're wrong now.


What they carry, and what they choose to report on are two very different
things.




Yes, that's what editors do. D'oh. I used to do that, eons ago. For a
while at the KC Star, my job as assistant to the world news editor, was to
tear copy off the various incoming wire machines, and prep it for the
world news editor to present at the three-times-nightly editorial budget
meeting. At those meetings, each department learned of its news hole for
the edition coming up, and would offer up what it thought was the best
news stories to fill that hole. There was a brief discussion and usually
consensus on what was "news" and therefore what was to be published. When
I filled in for the world news editor, I did the presentations and was on
occasion overruled by the Managing Editor. That's how the news biz works,
fella.

Most of the incoming news never made the paper, because there wasn't room
for it.

Isn't a UN resolution condemning Syria's role in the assassination of Hariri
more important than reporting on Chuckie Shumer's personal opinion of Sam
Alito?
