The Associated Press will not be covering Thursday’s Republican presidential debate “because of restrictions placed on media access,” according to an advisory the wire service sent out Wednesday night.

In the advisory, the news organization said it will boycott the debate because the event's sponsors, Fox News and the South Carolina Republican Party, “will only allow photos to be taken in the moments ahead of the debate and not during the event itself."

When early Presidential debates are so unimportant to the press (whose business is spreading information) it's time to sell your stock.
