Liberal Bias Alert- AP: "On paper, NY Islamic center looks modern, secular"

Where has objective journalism gone?  A better question might be whether it actually existed, or has the liberal media always spewed its own filth as news?  Regardless of the answer, most of the Main Stream Media is firmly held by the left-wing in our nation.  Take this headline written by AP today, "On paper, NY Islamic center looks modern, secular."

If you are thinking that that sounds exactly like a talking point of those in favor of building the mosque, you would be correct.  I've heard dozens of times that the Ground Zero Mosque (AP calls it an "Islamic center") is simply a community gathering spot that happens to have a Mosque in it.  Presently, I'd like to point out the contradiction in AP's headline, which calls the center distinctly "Islamic" yet says it is "secular."  But maybe the reporting is less biased, more objective.  Let's take a look.

In reading the article, the first thing a non-biased person will find is the inordinant amount of space given to the Mosque's developers and promoters, as well as the amount of space (several paragraphs) explaining how the building is not a Mosque.  For example, this actual excerpt from the article:

"I don't think that once this thing gets built, anyone will be picketing," said Sharif El-Gamal, the project's developer.

Groundbreaking for construction is probably two to three years away, "or hopefully sooner," El-Gamal told The Associated Press.

The largest part of the building — four of 16 floors — would be taken up by a sports, fitness and swimming center. Another full floor would be occupied by a child care center and playground.

Much of the rest of the building would be occupied by a restaurant, culinary school, artist studios, exhibition space and an auditorium for cultural events.

El-Gamal said the idea was to build a facility that will attract neighborhood residents looking for a place to work out, as well as suburban Muslim couples spending "date night" in the city.

The building's prayer space for Muslims — the part of the center that has caused some critics to derisively brand the center the "ground zero mega mosque" — would be located on two levels in the basement. The 12th floor would hold a 9/11 memorial and sanctuary open to people of all faiths.

The fact that it contains a Mosque is mentioned in passing, while a wide amount of space is given to Mr. El-Gamal's hope that it will become a location for a "date night," as well as the building's other featured.  But hey, at least these paragraphs seem on-topic.  Take this paragraph taken from later in the story:

As for the look of the place, it could fit in fine as an annex to Superman's Fortress of Solitude, with white walls and floors and a crystalline feel.

What?  Superman?  What does he have to do with a Mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero?
