AP rule of caption writing #175: When Arab civilians and Jewish civilians are involved in an altercation, refer to the Muslims as “residents” and the Jews as “extremists.”
Check out the actual AP caption for the photo below:
"Israeli border police officers listen to a Muslim man after scuffles broke out between Jewish extremists and Muslim residents next to the house where a Palestinian family was evicted from on Sunday, in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2009."
Nice. (AP Photo/Alex Kolomoisky).

As a whole, AP 'journalists' are a group of self idolizing elitists who do not want 'to make a difference' in the world that is positive.
The difference they seek is the result of the constant erosion of the original tenets of their profession - to be honest and to report news events honestly without bias.
The difference is they seek is self promotion, promotion of the educationally diseased beliefs they have been taught, and adulation from the leftist communists to which they pander.
The AP doesn't "Break news", only wind.
AP on 9/11:
"The World Trade Center buildings were attacked by 19 Muslim residents, killing at least 3000 American extremists."
Wrong, AP does break news!
Breaking News: "AP Sticks to Liberal Support Line; Film at 11pm"
Breaking News: "AP In Tank for Obama!"
Breaking News: "AP Hires Only Socialists and Communists!"
Breaking News: "AP Kisses DNC Ass!"
And 77% of American Jews voted for AP's guy?
Anon 2:51 Nice!!!!
The AP's rule book for President Bush must have been a whopper! I would really like to read the slight of words they used for eight years to demean him.
The AP suffered a large layoff, but it wasn't nearly enough. They need to vanish entirely.
And 77% of American Jews voted for AP's guy?
Sure did. They learned that lesson the hard way, but at least they learn their lessons. It won't happen again.
Retouched any photo's lately?
