AP Washington DC bureau chief brings you the Republican view of the world

Ron Fournier, Associated Press Washington DC bureau chief, has once again displayed an appalling lack of journalistic integrity with his latest piece on Obama's choice of Joe Biden to be his VP. AP Story

A little history:

He once told Karl Rove to "keep up the fight" while Pat Tillman's case was a prominent news story.

He considered joining the McCain campaign earlier this year.

The Associated Press has a credibility issue.

The time has come to speak out against this issue and ask that Fournier be removed from covering the Presidental election.

Contact the Associated Press... Kathleen Carroll (Fournier's boss) at kcarroll@ap.org or (212) 621-1500. Be POLITE, but be FIRM. Let them know that you don't want to see them serve as stenographers and amplifiers for pure spin by the McCain campaign. (thanks to Jonathan Singer of mydd.com)

Moveon.org has also joined in the fight.

Firedoglake.com also has a handy little tool for those who want to get involved.
