This is a landmark day in the history of journalistic integrity. The Washington Post announced a ban on the utterly ridiculous AP, due to the latter's claims of infringement in fair-use blog citings.

So here's our new policy on A.P. stories: they don't exist. We don't see them, we don't quote them, we don't link to them. They're banned until they abandon this new strategy, and I encourage others to do the same until they back down from these ridiculous attempts to stop the spread of information around the Internet.
