I just called Tim Curley, CEO and President of AP
1-212-621-7550
I asked him why the AP has not requested Kerry's Military records.
He said "we have looked at them all and found nothing"
I asked how he could read them all if Kerry hasn't signed Form 180 allowing his records to be released? Silence. I went on to say that Kerry's own biographer has advised Kerry to sign Form 180 and release his records. (I got a few ums with this)
I asked if he thinks we are all stupid and will believe whatever the AP writes, for example "they all booed while Bush did nothing to stop them".
He said the AP wasn't interested in Kerry's military records. Thank you very much. Click.
Mr. Curley would love to hear from Freepers everywhere!
But I think I floored the man when I brought up Form 180. The OLD MEDIA is still in denial that they no longer own the media. Stories get out without them in control.
Nice one man FREEP.
Good Job
Big ATTA-BOY!!
Well well well. An honest admission by the AP.
Oh, that's right. CFR prevents you from mentioning a candidate's name within 60 days of an election.
Thank you John McCain; we didn't care much for the First Amendment anyway.
President Bush should take a copy of the Form 180 and hand it to Kerry during the first debate. Think he'd sign it?
Along with signing his 180 and the remaining 94 pages of his medical history, which John Kerry has not released (AP was allowed to look at 6 pages but not take notes), another question for the AP would be what happened to Kerry from early 1970 through the middle of 1972 when he as in the active reserves. No record of his required service during that time.
They actually answer the phone. Rip Away
Some months ago, Team Kerry had what they claimed to be all of his records available in a presser. They gave the press a limited amount of time (15 minutes?) to look at all that were presented.
This is probably what he's talking about. Notice he didn't answer your question directly. Rather slimey, IMO.
You should have told him "Your A Lier! Without from 180 you have NOT seen all the records!" He would have just hung up quicker.
The fool obviously has no idea what's going on in the world.
Great job. Will call now.
This is HUGE. Can someone out there get this to people at Fox and hammer them with this?
I called and bitched out Curley's assistant.
Are you joking? I don't think individuals are restricted from sending letters to editors.
The AP is the worst of the worst.
They make Joseph Goebbels and Baghdad Bob look objective.
Is this for real? If so, it's a bloody outrage! I'm so sick of this blatant bias. It has to end. Republicans should make media bias a campaign issue and discredited the media in the eyes of the public.
BRAVO.....BUMP
AP has been a dedicated full time volunteer for the Kerry Kampaign!
Just call the number and scream "LIAR" into the phone, and then hang up. Saves a lot of time.
