This afternoon, Senate Democrats failed to get enough votes to proceed with a measure to overturn the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision. Here’s how the Associated Press reported the news:
BREAKING: Senate Republicans block bill to restore free contraception under health care law.

The AP may as well have gone with that. After all, clearly it’s not as if they’re interested in honest journalism.

Allow me to break down where exactly you fucked up with that tweet, @AP. 1) What the fuck is this "free" thing you're saying?

And on top of that, they have completely misrepresented what’s happened:
Liars RT @AP: BREAKING: Senate Republicans block bill to restore free contraception under health care law.
— Phineas Fahrquar (@irishspy) July 16, 2014
Uh. That's inaccurate. RT @AP BREAKING: Senate Republicans block bill to restore free contraception under health care law.
— RBe (@RBPundit) July 16, 2014
2) Senate Republicans voted to keep the bills signed by Bill Clinton (Democrat) intact. The RFRA. @AP.

Is that not worth mentioning, AP?
good lord- why didn't you just RT OFA? RT @AP: BREAKING: Senate Republicans block bill to restore free contraception under health care law.
— Nino (@baldingschemer) July 16, 2014
LOL! Such flaming bullshit. RT @AP: BREAKING: Senate Republicans block bill to restore free contraception under health care law.

Shorter @AP: We have no fucking idea how to accurately report the news https://t.co/SJHIk2bnuR

Hey, AP, here’s some help for next time:
MT“@AP: BREAKING: Senate Republicans block bill to mandate that a craft store pay for chemically killing a baby.”

Dear @AP, here's the correct headline: "Senate Republicans block attempt to gut Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed by Bill Clinton."
