A news wires is an organization of journalists established to supply news reports to news organizations: newspapers, magazines, and radio and television broadcasters. Such an agency may also be referred to as a wire service.
Almost every newspaper all over the world is a member of the Associated Press. The AP, like Reuters and other wire services, supplies stories, photographs and graphics in newspapers. The news wire is the “official” source. Nothing is “official” until AP or other news wire picks up the story.

Once the newspaper gets the article from the wire service they can modified it or put their spin on it. Often times you can read a report in one paper and read almost the exact report in another paper. Or one that has been modified can bring you to a completely different conclusion.

Papers can also create a news story outside the source of a news wire. When they do that and claim anonymous sources it's often wise to consider it opinion until confirmed by a party to the story. Unless you trust the paper is always honest.

Rumor is Bill has a new girlfriend. Maybe he's going to dump Hillary and endorse Trump.

Just because they don't agree with your view of the world doesn't make them dishonest or inaccurate.

Besides, what are the more reliable media channels? Fox News? Daily Mail? NY Post? I can assure you the words "journalistic standards" have never been uttered there.

I just find it amusing that people who put down NYT or WaPo for being biased have no qualms about watching only Fox News.

All those agencies are just as biased as fox or ny post. They put out just as much biased garbage.

Someone isn't aware that NBC has edited tapes and employed some of the biggest and biased liars (not just Lyin' Brian). Over 90% of the Old Media self-identify as liberals, and wouldn't be caught dead doing investigative reporting on anyone other than a Republican, so give us a break with those "journalistic standards."

Oh, and who was it that rigged and blew up those GM trucks for a phony "news" story? Yup. Gotta love those journalistic standards.

Some is better than none whatsoever, no?

Who's kidding who?

Clinton was probably hoping Melania would pick up the phone.

I don't care if Trump is a friend of Bill and Hillary. Bill was close to GHWBush as well. They golfed together many times.

I am sick of rubberstamped politicians and if Trump, being the business wizard he is, has a shot at the white house and can fix some of the issues...then let him. I like Ben Carson to. My family is lining up behind Sanders....I would rather have Biden than Sanders myself.
