Crack Reportage

Absolutely no spin at all: how the AP reports Obama’s hostage crisis in Egypt « The Greenroom: "The administration has been calling for the case to be resolved for weeks in a manner that allows seven of the implicated Americans who have been barred from leaving to leave the country.
Please note that the words “hostages”, “crisis”, “Carter”, and “SCOAMF” were carefully omitted from the AP’s crack reportage.

Which is why Americans regard the Associated Press with roughly the same level of disdain as they had for Pravda during the Nikita Khrushchev era."
Or is that reportage while on crack?
