Comparing AP's fact checking of Obama's health care bill and Palin's book

[Steven Douglas]

[quoting] An Associated Press dispatch, written by Erica Werner and
Richard Alonso-Zaldivar, compares the House and Senate ObamaCare
bills. We'd like to compare this dispatch to the AP's dispatch earlier
this week "fact checking" Sarah Palin's new book. Here goes:

Number of AP reporters assigned to story:
• ObamaCare bills: 2
• Palin book: 11

Number of pages in document being covered:
• ObamaCare bills: 4,064
• Palin book: 432

Number of pages per AP reporter:
• ObamaCare bill: 2,032
• Palin book: 39.3

On a per-page basis, that is, the AP devoted 52 times as much manpower
to the memoir of a former Republican officeholder as to a piece of
legislation that will cost trillions of dollars and an untold number
of lives. That's what they call accountability journalism. [end quote]
