The Associated Press just announced that it has sold its gold-standard journalism to twenty shiny new reporters under the benign headline “Climate Grant Demonstrates Growth in Philanthropy Funded News.” The ad was decorated with a polar bear (of course) because journalists love them as cute, man-eating Predators.
