RON FOURNIER ISN'T THE ONLY AP PROBLEM

Fournier is getting some flack for his "analysis" article about Obama's VP pick and I'm not sure if it is justified but Liz Sidoti has done a horrible "analysis" piece:

Analysis: Biden fills attack role

This I found especially obnoxious:

At the same time, Biden charged, without backing up his assertions, that McCain "signed on to Bush's scheme of privatizing Social Security"

I was here in Tucson when McCain showed up with Bush during his failed privatization tour and it should be common knowledge that McCain supported Bush's privatization plan. That was over 3 years ago but now McCain seems to have changed for the worse:

Reforming Entitlement Programs For The 21st Century
Reform Social Security: John McCain will fight to save the future of Social Security, and he believes that we may meet our obligations to the retirees of today and the future without raising taxes. John McCain supports supplementing the current Social Security system with personal accounts - but not as a substitute for addressing benefit promises that cannot be kept. John McCain will reach across the aisle to address these challenges, but if the Democrats do not act, he will. No problem is in more need of honesty than the looming financial challenges of entitlement programs. Americans have the right to know the truth and John McCain will not leave office without fixing the problems that threatens our future prosperity and power.
