Oh Lordy!

I will say this about the AP..... When I was contacted by an AP science reporter about my father in law's participation in the Celestis launch of people's remains into space on the SpaceX Falcon 9/Dragon mission to the ISS last month, he was nothing but respectful and interested. And the article he wrote reflected his attitude toward us.

And they said that computers could do all of the work of real, live editors - yeah, right. Expect more of this as newspapers, news aggregators, and the like continue to replace human editors with a computer program.
