Reuters and the Associated Press seem to have been at different speeches

One would think, based on comparing dispatches from Reuters and the Associated Press, that President Barack Obama must have spoken at two different events in Upper Marlboro, Maryland today.
The two dispatches are so radically different in tone and content that they it doesn't seem possible that they both could be from the same event. But they are. Jeff Mason at Reuters (saved here for future reference and fair use purposes) observed "early departures of crowd members while he spoke underscored his continuing unpopularity." But at AP (saved here), Josh Lederman described "a rowdy crowd of about 8,000 people" attending "a rally that had the feeling of a gospel service."
Surely the AP isn't schilling for Obama...

When I was growing up we were routinely told that the Russians never got the truth because the Soviets controlled the news. We're not at that point, but you do have to accept that any news you read, watch, or hear may just be so biased that it almost constitutes a lie.
That's why I love TD! Two sides - fair and balanced and often kooky - Hell, we even get the Ghazi Iranian news report.
