I trust that the Press Herald will proof some of The Associated Press articles that it picks up. Biased reporting by the AP is something that we cannot tolerate. Just the facts are all we need, not opinion. If I want that I read the op-ed pages.

Please contact the AP and tell them that someone like Ron Fournier has no place reporting news like this; e.g., on Aug. 23: "Biden pick shows lack of confidence."

Since when do the Republicans run The Associated Press? I guess since Ron Fournier became the new Washington AP bureau chief.

I used to have some faith in AP reports.

But after reading its biased rants against Democrats I have to question their objectivity.

This latest piece about Sen. Obama's vice presidential choice is pretty much the last straw.

Sen. Joe Biden is an honorable man who has served his country exceptionally well for many years.

Biden has stayed true to his roots and is one of the few members of Congress who hasn't forgotten the middle class.

His experience in foreign affairs will, of course, be invaluable to the next president, which is exactly why Obama selected him.

I'm sure the AP had some smarmy statement ready to go for whomever Obama chose.

Please try to impress upon the AP that readers like myself just want to hear the news.

We do not want slanted innuendo from their right-wing McCain supporter.
