I rarely find Michelle Malkin's blog palatable, but she wrote a pointed post yesterday on the Associated Press' "quotation licenses" decision and backcharging to AP for quotes they've used...
Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
Wow Dave, Michelle Malkin? You're reach across the aisle so-to-speak on this one. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteThis issue really pissed of Michael Arrington of TechCrunch. Looks like he's ready to take on the AP with full force:
