Obama Bypassing Senate To Fill Medicare Post

How exactly is that biased, subservient, corporatist media garbage by the Approximated Press a "news" article?

from above: "The decision to use a recess appointment to skirt the Senate is sure to draw fire from Republicans although the tool has been used frequently by presidents of both political parties." (Republican-biased, one sided commentary in an allegedly "news" article is s.o.p. for AP; it is NOT journalism.)

Then AP parrots Repunklican talking points of Barrasso and McConnell -- plays "stenographer" as most trusted name in journalism Jon Stewart correctly puts it -- without even mentioning the **documented fact** that Senate Repunklicans have abused the filibuster (which is intended to allow Senators of the minority party only to stall what they strongly feel is the most morally wrong actions of the majority) by using the filibuster with historically unprecedented frequency. That much historical context (not in those exact words, obviously; this is *my* opinion, not journalistic style) should be a minimum journalistic standard, if they're going to let the opposition partisans inject their opinions to a "news" article.

"Historically unprecedented" btw not only means more than ever before, it's 2 - 3 **times** more than any other previous Senate in the same time period.

Huffington Post should dump ap and carry real news, meaning McClatchy.
