Re AP Suckage
Editor & Publisher reports there’s a lot of it. Small-, mid-sized newspapers grumble about $$$hakedown, lack of relevant content. This article does not touch on the AP’s naked, get-a-room Obamism. Obamist E&P has carried the AP Obamism, but seems to have missed the reax.
Nod to Instapundit re AP’s woes among smalltown pen-toters.

I posted a comment on this subject before, and this is just additional confirmation that AP’s days might be limited. This is the kind of thing that could snowball quickly, once papers stop subscribing, and set up their own sharing networks. If AP starts losing subscribers, the rest of the papers will have to pay more, or content will have to go down, giving all of them even more reason to leave. They’ll look at smaller papers going without AP and start to think that if those smaller papers can do it, so can they.
