Go and get you a digital camera. You will not regret it.

I was at the Bush Rally and there was no booing that I heard.

I would like to know who was the reporter and his sources for this information. I would recommend that this become public and let's see if the reporter can defend what was stated. A public apology seems to be appropriate.

If no public apology, then let's track the reporters other stories to determine if they are accurate.

For the record: Salon.com still *headlined* the boos everyone knew to be a lie until 9PM eastern.

Here's the link

I posted earlier that I e-mailed Boston.com about the A.P. article. I heard from them. They offered an apology for their error and said they had pulled it. I was very surprised

Call News Desk here: 212-621-1500
and Corporate Headquarters here: 212-621-6060

Also email: info@ap.org

I called tonight and sent this email:

AP News Service:

At 13:57 today, AP News issued a false report of booing at a Bush Rally when the President announced prayers and good wishes for the speeding recovery of former President Clinton.

I understand that a later report did not mention any booing. However, many Americans will only know of the original report and not the later corrected one.

Eye witnesses at the Bush Rally report there was silent respect and NO BOOS when the President asked for prayers for Mr. Clinton.

The real story here is who with AP wire service put out the false report which portrayed President Bush and the Rally attendee as mean and heartless?

I request that AP issue a prompt public apology to President Bush and those at the Rally.

In addition, I request that the individual who put out the false report be reprimanded.

You can check into who was in charge of the news room that by looking at the time of the report.

The liberal media will be the biggest loser in the Bush landslide. Say goodnight to them, they are in the throws of death. After this election, they will never be taken seriously again when it comes to politics. Poor George Soros, all those millions invested, and nothing but ruin and ashes to show for it.

I hope all is well with Bill Clinton... prayers for his speedy recovery.

That said, his wife was beaming today....that's pretty sick.

Updated thread (includes the story RonDog referenced near the end of this one and reveals that the AP Clymer is Tom Hays, and that Knight-Ridder still is using "boos").
