That's about all they do is pay. They contribute next to nothing. Sometimes
their sports columnists dig up something and AP will pick it up. But I'll
bet I've had more stuff picked up by AP in the last two years than all of
Yahoo combined.
The Huffington Post pays, too. But paying for news and contributing news are
two different things.
