But you have to understand how the AP works. If I'm a newspaper writer in Yahoo Wisconsin and I write a story and my paper is a member of the AP, my story goes out on the wire. Same for the guy in Los Angeles. It's not like the AP is one unified voice. It's just a central gathering system for articles written by reporters all over the country - who work for different newspapers. Even if they were from the same organization, you couldn't blame the organization because the organization didn't write it, they're just passing it on.
