What media bias?
Chris asks Which is it:
Weird ellipses in a quote of Ford from this Tennessean article:
“I was there,” the Memphis Democrat said. “I like football, and I like girls. I don’t have … no apologies for that.”
WMCTV quotes him as:
“I was there,” he said. “I like football, and I like girls. I have no apologies for that.”
So which is it? Bad grammar or good grammar?

Neither.
If you watch the video you’ll see he says some unintelligible stuff that would warrant either the ellipses or the seperate sentences.
I think it was an off the cuff response and neither bad grammer nor as a commentator at Chris’s theorizes, his attempt to be folksy (in an assumed less than forthright manner).
I don’t like the guy . . . think he is a grade A cheeseball on the social party circuit here in DC . . . but can’t criticize him for either this comment (or the fact that he hangs out at the playboy mansion. . .who wouldn’t????)

No playboy mansion. A playboy-sponsored party in Jacksonville, FL, nowhere near the mansion in California.
