Indeed, the AP story has to be understood in the context of media support for Obama becoming a major issue of the campaign. It should be remembered that Obama's campaign strategist, David Axelrod, is a former Chicago Tribune reporter, and Obama's press spokesperson is Linda Douglass, formerly of CBS News, ABC News, and the National Journal.
Was the AP's Thanawala performing a free service for the campaign? Whatever the case, the story is itself a scandal and another low point for journalism. It also provides an opportunity for the truth to come out―about Obama and his lapdog press corps.
*AP's main number in New York is: 1-212-621-1500. AP is run by a board of directors (web site)and its managing director for U.S. news is Michael Oreskes, a former New York Times journalist. The AP executive editor is Kathleen Carroll.
