my favorite instance of the ap being asleep at the switch was a headline about tyson gay advancing to the finals of the 100 meters in the olympic track qualifiers. apparently the ap uses some sort of auto-replace software to keep out potentially politically incorrect words. he was referred to in the headline and the accompanying story as "tyson homosexual".
no one caught it.

"one news now" is run by a right-wing outfit called the american family association. they're the ones whose word filter got trigger-happy.

They are propagating the dangerous stereotype that homosexuals misjudge the finish in the opening heat.
