AP wants $$ to quote 5 words! Woot Scolds Associated Press! LOL
Woot.com calls out the Associated Press in its 7/6/10 for quoting Woot without compensation. This is contrary to AP's policy to charge anyone for quoting as little as five words from an AP article. Five words? Really? Yep! Here's the calculator, which tells me if I pull "that's what she said" from an article of theirs, they will charge me $17.50.

See Woot's scolding at [link to www.woot.com] and read the text in the green section on the left.

Really, I don't understand how AP can charge for that few words. I do think it is awesome that Woot caught them. Go Woot!

I don't trust any msm for news anymore. By the time I see it there, its old news. I guess they need time to get approval from the white house before publishing?

kitty Yeah and I should know because I worked in it.
Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.
Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman].
STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobacco is worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children.

AP is hundreds, if not thousands, of news outlets. You could quote a story from a newspaper, then find out the AP decided to make it one of the stories it carries to all the other AP members. ...

I don't us AP, I did once upon a time, long, long ago, but not in the last five to six years. For one, they were slow even back then. But they do tow the line for the military, so they can go, well, you know.

You want real news, then follow the black listed news on twitter, just put the first three words together when you google it.
