Propaganda’s wheels start turning

Back when the Associated Press only reported the news, or summarized news produced by others, they would never have countenanced introducing the race card in a national political campaign:

"Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee "palling around" with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?"

The old days are gone, obviously. Now AP is just another part of the Democrat propaganda arm.

MORE: Powerline makes this observation:

"When the McCain campaign ran an ad that had a white woman in it, it was denounced as racist. When it ran an ad that had an African-American man (Franklin Raines) in it, it was denounced as racist. Now the McCain campaign links Obama to a white man, the former terrorist, and still anti-American, Bill Ayers. That’s racist too. I think we’ve exhausted just about all the possibilities. The only non-racist thing McCain can do, apparently, is concede the election."
