It's too bad the AP does not have news on its own site, like the AFP or Reuters. It's been hard to follow this through google news, as a lot of the news it aggregates is 6 hours behind the curve, and a lot of news has simply taken over the Georgian statements (especially re- the alleged capture of Gori by the Russians, yesterday).
Overall it was possible to keep a fairly good overview by checking everything with the agencies.
It's behind the curve, for sure. And, er, consensual? When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
The AP and AFP stories I quoted above were also on the google feed. You have to eehm... use teh google, then it is quite useful as an aggregator.
The front page is useless for following events in a real-time manner. It is, I guess, driven by interests of generating revenue and driving traffic. Politics could also come in, though I don't know.
I think politics, as in confirming ideological bias, comes into driving traffic and creating revenue, yes. When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
