politics without the arguments
Obama’s stop in Colorado — which happens to be a key electoral state in the race — came as he was about to shift into a mix of campaign fundraisers and official travel across the West starting Monday. Romney resumed political activities Sunday in California, where he courted Republican donors in three fundraisers in the San Francisco area.

A paragraph from the Associated Press’s story on President Obama’s visit to Colorado to meet with families and law enforcement officials following the mass shooting in Aurora.

This isn’t journalism, AP, and you fucking know it.  It’s an implication — a not so subtle one at that — that the President’s visit is nothing more than a political stunt.

I’d love to hear the editor who allowed this paragraph to stand explain why he / she did, and whether it’s in line with the AP’s own standards.
