This is a bigger deal than you think—-the AP is what much of the world depends on for non-partisan reporting We all learned about this in high school journalism class—the AP is THE source—for style, grammar, spelling etc and has been for the past 175 years—-and now they are not belong allowed access to the WH briefings? A consummate attack on the First (and it is First for a very good reason) Amendment. Oh…and the reason? Due to the worldwide reach of their reporting, they have chosen to continue to use the Gulf of Mexico rather than the Gulf of America. Arrogance trying to take down the AP.
