Associated Press confirmed today that former Rep. Nathan Cooper is staying at a halfway house in St. Louis after serving a portion of his sentence for immigration fraud.
That news was printed earlier on the Fired Up Missouri blog, which, of course, is mentioned nowhere in the AP story, since AP has been notorious about following up on stories first broken in the blogosphere, then not giving any credit to the original source.
Welcome back Nathan.
ReplyDeleteJust because a blog broke the story first doesn't mean they should get credit for it. You have no idea when AP found the story on their own.
Of course you have no idea about a lot of things that you think you do.
Yep, the AP is usually behind a few days. Its good we have the Internet, otherwise, if we depended on the AP we wouldn't know much about the news.
ReplyDeleteThen the newspapers wonder why readership is down.
