Who owns The Associated Press?
The Associated Press is a not-for-profit cooperative, which means it is owned by its 1,500 U.S. daily newspaper members. They elect a board of directors that directs the cooperative.
The Associated Press | The essential global news network

243 bureaus in 97 countries.

1,700 U.S. daily, weekly, non-English and college newspapers.

5,000 radio and television outlets taking AP services.

850 AP Radio News audio affiliates.

550 International broadcasters who receive AP's global video news service, APTN, and SNTV, a sports joint venture video service.

121 number of countries served by AP

4 languages in which AP sends news. The report is translated into many more languages by international subscribers.

4,100 AP editorial, communications and administrative employees worldwide.

3,000 of AP's worldwide staff are journalists.

49 Pulitzer Prizes, including 30 for photography.

WOW, kind of far from what you were stating.........I would just as soon move on, how about you?

Have a good one!:s4:
Your list is very long, however it is text copied from AP's own website. That is like me saying to somebody that Mc Donalds food has no quality, and they reply, "You are way off, buddy...watch this Mc Donalds commercial. It says their Big Macs, McNuggets, fries, and Milkshakes are mmmmmm good!" They are not good at all, not any aspect of them, but people think they are good because they have a habit of eating at Mc Donalds, a habit that Mc Donalds created.

When I see that list of awards and numbers, I can only respond from a Buddhist perspective by saying, "Many, many containers...but all of them empty."

My post was about quality vs. quantity, and assuming that any organization that fills out non-profit incorporation forms and buys a .org web address is a stamp of quality in truth and vision is a mistake. I do not take my news from professional journalists. I take my news from professional human beings who also happen to share their stories. There is a vast difference.

I am not sure what you mean by grudge, but I will try to refrain from engaging in threads that were created to be intentionally confrontational in the future. We are expected to refrain from personal attacks here. Why is it okay to level personal attacks against some stranger we have never met or spoken with. It is fine to believe that somebody is lying, but what is the point of calling somebody a liar without adding anything else. That is not a discussion or a debate. It is just a hate fest. It is my own weakness or strength that I gravitate to these little fires, trying to blow them out...but fire likes wind.

Politics is what happens when activism and engaged living dies, and I do not want to keep falling into this trap of useless arguing and oneupmanship.

Move on? Sure, why not. This is your thread. Where would you like to go?:abduct:
