Techcrunch: 'Here's Our New Policy On A.P. stories: They're Banned'
As Charles at LGF points out, there's been lots of fallout today from the Associated Press's self-defeating decision to threaten legal action against web sites that link to and quote their articles. Now, Techcrunch says they're banning the AP: Here's Our New Policy On A.P. stories: They're Banned.
The Associated Press may be literally everywhere, and as Charles notes, many news sites often use sections of AP articles combined with their own reporting. Nonetheless, I gladly join with this movement until such time that the AP stops trying to dictate rights they don't have and get back to reality. Anyway, I've long-since refrained from linking directly to AP articles owing to their pro-terrorist, anti-American bias and their disturbing pattern of uncorrected inaccuracies and "distortion through emphasis" in its Middle East coverage which predates 2005. They have a particular penchant for using pro-Islamist, anti-Israel and anti-U.S. stringers and reporters.
