Re: AP

[Cooper Fox <fox893@yahoo.com>]

As far as this situation goes i have found the AP wire
to be darn near useless.  Take, for example, the
report of the 5 firefighters found in the SUV.  That
was completely inaccurate.  There were firefighters
found but the times, dates, amounts, and details were
all wrong.  It is easier for a small station like the
one that i work at to use a network news sources(NBC,
CBS, etc.
