FR Exclusive: AP SPIKES JOHN O'NEILL - SWIFT BOAT VETS STORY
Tuesday, May 4, 2004 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/04/2004 6:47:21 PM PDT by kristinn

The Associated Press has spiked reporting on the press conference this morning in Washington, D.C. by John O'Neill and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth where they accused fellow Vietnam veteran and Swift boat unit member Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the presumed Democratic party nominee for president, of being "unfit to be commander in chief."

The stunning revelation was confirmed by the AP's Washington bureau this evening. A spokeswoman for the AP stated that the wire service had sent a reporter to cover the press conference. However, she said the AP decided against running a news article about it because, "It does not further the anti-Kerry Vietnam veteran story any."

Call these numbers tomorrow, not tonight because you'll just get the night staff. The decision makers work the day shift. I've already called both bureaus this evening.

The phone number for the AP's Washington, D.C. bureau is (202) 776-9400.

The phone number for the AP's New York City headquarters is (212) 621-1500. Ask to speak to the president of AP as that is who the D.C. bureau chief anwers to.

You watch the C-Span broadcast?
It's so GOOD, I'm taping the replay.
Damn, he'll still get the nomination won't he?
I mean he has the delegates!

AP spiking it is not going to make the truth go away.

I agree, Kerry is toast.

The Hildebeast is waiting in the wings.

CSPAN 2 at 12:25 a.m.

Awwwwww, hell. Would you believe my cheapbutt cable provider only has C-SPAN1? They've been bugged for years to add 2 (we missed out on Sh#%head's impeachment, too), and it costs them what - nothing? They have lots of very lame shopping and religion channels, though; even a few empty channels.

But no C-SPAN2.

Clinton would have been Toast in 1992 and 96 if we had the Internet back then like we do today IMHO! Then those of us in Texas could have gotten out the word about what a fraud Perot was. The media sure didn't print or report anything!

" Why is everyone talking about Vietnam ?"

Well, did she not see Kerry's brand new ads, just out yesterday?

Now, who's talking about Vietnam?

It'll be on-line again also,

Real Player was screwing-up for the folks.

There should be some kind of law about truth in advertising whenever these talking heads appear on TV.

For example, the ticker running beneath Claudia's image saying: This 'ho' gets on her knees for Kerry....

To me, the most devastating statement was the man who said that not one battle was lost in Vietnam; the battle was lost at home -- and that John Kerry was the field commander here.
