95% of what there is in circulation this morning about this event is derived from one or two articles written and released by the AP. This is not a good situation. The AP didn't massacre our side on this one, but to have one source spreading the news to every state and local outlet is just plain troubling and ripe for misuse. We've still got a big problem. This is precisely what happened before with the issue in that the big money people were able to get ahold of the key players and manage the issue to their desires. Our interests got a good thing going out there in AZ, and if we don't find a way to keep the news media from doing damage control it may just wind up back in the hands of McCain, Graham, Obama, and Mexico.
