And? What's the point of having access when said access does not give you anything worthwhile? At best it turns you into a willing accomplice, esp. if you anyway report on things with "he said it's raining, she said it's not" instead of checking whether it is or isn't.

Good point. I value AP for standing their ground, even when they don't have access. And what does that mean anyway? It's just crap upon crap.

In the process, they’re turning themselves into stooges.
