The AP have launched a vendetta to bring down President Obama, and made their agenda crystal clear in this wildly-misleading article:
NEW YORK (AP) – Apple says it received between 4,000 and
5,000 requests from U.S. law enforcement for customer data for the six
months ended in May.
The company, like some other businesses, had asked the U.S government
to be able to share how many requests it received related to national
security and how it handled them. Those requests were made as part of
Prism, the recently revealed highly classified National Security Agency
program that seizes records from Internet companies.
Only if you read to the end of the article will you discover this:
It said that the most common form of request came from
police investigating robberies and other crimes, searching for missing
children, trying to locate a patient with Alzheimer’s disease, or hoping
to prevent a suicide.
The company also made clear how much access the government has.
“We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our
servers, and any government agency requesting customer content must get a
court order,” Apple said in a statement on its website.
Of course, leading with that very innocuous information wouldn’t fit
the Beltway media’s Orwell fetish, which is especially strong at the AP
since news emerged that
the Department of Justice subpoenaed AP reporters’ phone records in investigating a leak of classified information. Here’s
Michael Calderone quoting former AP reporter Ron Fournier:
Have no doubt about it. The Associated Press are now twisting stories
to suit their narrative of an Out of Control Surveillance State … even
when the story is really about local law enforcement trying to solve
crimes, looking for missing kids, lost Alzheimers’ patients, and
potential suicides.
The AP are on a vendetta, and the rest of the media will need to call it out and push back to stop it.
