Yikes. And speaking of, here’s some, um, interesting historical context:
Mr. Bloomberg was also sued in 1997 by a sales executive who claimed that after she became pregnant, he urged her to have an abortion, telling her, “Kill it!” Mr. Bloomberg adamantly denied any wrongdoing and settled the case out of court for an undisclosed amount.

Ah, gee. The AP fudges the metrics or the terminology. BFD!
MEANWHILE...
The AP continues to be the Israeli state's greatest tool with such brilliant-worded, Israeli-censored LIES as this: "The Christian population in the West Bank and Gaza has been on the decline in recent years. Many have left for economic reasons and Muslim pressure." (I.e., not because the Israeli army and Israeli settlers have been pillaging, dehumanizing, and terrorizing Muslims and Christians alike over the last 44 years.)
And this: "Palestinians seek the West Bank for part of a future state and view the Israeli settlements there as a serious obstacle." (At its most euphemistic best, it should read: The Israeli govt seeks Palestinian land in the West Bank for part of a future state and view the Palestinian presence there as a serious obstacle.)
Too many more examples to list, from the past 48 hours alone.
How long will CJR et al. go on IGNORING the AP's creative lying for the U.S. and Israeli govts? Or does it not matter that the AP's govt-censored "information" greases the skids of state-run plunder and mass-murder, so long as they can convincingly be portrayed as "objective," "unbiased," and "the most trusted"?
