'Liars'! AP shames itself with 'terribly biased headline' on Senate birth control vote

https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/489479765821509632

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 Associated Press (@AP) July 16, 2014

Ugh.

RT @AP Republicans are mean doodooheads

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

First off, the notion of “free” birth control is inherently wrong:

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?

— Nino (@baldingschemer) July 16, 2014

Hey, AP, here’s some help for next time:

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