      You know what I've noticed as well? That every salacious and badly written AP story that slams the man who-would-be-president-but-won't-be-until-Jan-20 ends up front and center on Yahoo News. Nice pick-up, guys.

      Thing is guys, you point out that the AP is not covering this story, but pretty much everyone else is out there. I mean, NY Times, WaPo? Those are pretty big news organizations. And they are read around the country, and the world. I love MMFA just as much as the next bleeding heart liberal, but to see something insidious in the APs story writing, because they havent covered this, while everyone else pretty much has, is, well, not really relevant maybe?
