#11 after getting busted with their fauxtography, lies, propaganda stringers, they're smarting and want to shut down teh criticism.

Ace of Spades notes:
"The AP claims that it can revoke the license at any time if it feels you're saying something negative about the Associated Press: "Publisher reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if Publisher or its agents finds Your use of the licensed Content to be offensive and/or damaging to Publishers reputation.""

#12 "Publisher reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if Publisher or its agents finds Your use of the licensed Content to be offensive and/or damaging to Publishers reputation."

No problem, then - ya' can't damage what's already in the toilet and swirling 'round the drain.
