Last night, the Associated Press tweeted this promotion of a story about their interview with Pamela Geller in the wake of the Garland, Texas attack:
Pamela Geller says she has no regrets about Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in 2 deaths: http://t.co/3QabvaBs4w
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 8, 2015
Criticism and hashtag mockery ensued to the point where the AP felt the need for a clarification, if that’s what this is called:
Geller says no regrets about Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in gunfire (clarifies earlier tweets): http://t.co/LLH0xJJD28
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 8, 2015
In other words, “just to clarify, here’s something kind of like what we wrote earlier.”
Oh, well, THERE. SO much better. Thanks for the "clarification" @AP @iowahawkblog #AssociatedPressHeadlines pic.twitter.com/sHwgG53BMX

.@AP Could you be any more cowardly?

@AP What does that headline even mean? I'm no fan of hers but they attempted murder and were outgunned.

LOL, you clowns at @AP think that "clears it up"? The focus of the your headline is shameful…and cowardly. https://t.co/Vyaj7jM6B9

In their haste to couch stories as positive for liberals and negative for conservatives, the @AP has set grammar learning back 100 years.

.@AP @TheRickWilson Well, this should make @ChrisCuomo feel slightly better…

.@AP 1) Gunfire by terrorists. 2) Why would target have regrets? 3) Prophet Muhammad? Would you use "Lord Jesus Christ"? 4) Fuck you, still.
