A New Kerry 527? (Now we know who the AP associates with)

The AP has blatently lied to the American people in hopes of boosting John F. Kerry's poll numbers. The AP shamelessly used the fact that ex-President Bill Clinton suffered a heart attack as a lead-in to an attack story that accused George W. Bush of not caring about the fact that a former President fights to stave off his demise.

Audience boos as Bush offers best wishes for Clinton's recovery By Associated Press, 9/3/2004 13:57

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) President Bush on Friday wished Bill Clinton ''best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery.''

''He's is in our thoughts and prayers,'' Bush said at a campaign rally.

Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.

Pravda would have written with less malice about Ronald Reagan during the early 1980's. This pathetically biased article lowers the AP to the level of MoveOn.Org.

The good news is that the transcript of the speech is available to correct the shameless propagandic exercise attempted by the AP.

Text of Bush's remarks in West Allis Posted: Sept. 3, 2004

En route here we just received news that President Clinton has been hospitalized in New York. He is in our thoughts and prayers. We send him our best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery. (Applause.)

I've always wondered who the AP was actually associated with. In this political season, it apparantly spends it's spare time hobknobbing with staffers from John F. Kerry For President.

It makes me laugh how "The National Enquirer" has become a more reliable source for information than the Associated Press!!

Chris Matthews has the story on his newsletter that he sends out to thousands every day. I wrote MSNBC to complain but they won't retract it.

AP NAtional says it was AP Regional Wisconsin.

AP Regional Wisconsin says it was AP National.

Neither Office will give out the name of the reporter.

AP National 212-621-1600
AP Milwauakee 414-225-3580

Foxnews has also played the video of Bush's comments during their Foxnews Live with Brit Hume. So, there is video of this event. I don't think that the AP can lie about this for long.

Again Old Media is proven as liars by the New Media.

Why would any other news organization by anonymous news? Which is what this amounts to when AP refuses to put a byline on a story and/or disclose the name of the reporter.

well if this is true of the AP it is one of the most blatant case of Yellow Journalism since the early 1900's... the only problems there is no overseeing organization for media reporting outlets like the AP.. So they are responsible for governing themselves. Which I have always seen as being akin to asking the wolf to watching the sheep.

Best you can do is ask the papers and TV and radio stations that use AP as a source to stop using them...

I would not doubt that this tale may have been an intentional and premeditated piece of propaganda aimed directly at the Bush campaign. Could be that we are going to be facing more of these fabrications from now until Election Day.
Be alert!
