Yes, and they need to fire the reporter immediately.

I found the name of an AP reporter who filed a story on the president yesterday. But who knows if she was with him or not. Or if it's the person who lied his/her head off today.

What the heck are news orgs doing buying a story without a byline, anyway?!

There apparently wasn't a byline with the AP story

Yes, but one has to figure exactly how many AP reporters does it take to cover a Wisconsin rally. And, if "Deb Riechmann" is admittedly at the scene of the crime...its a good place to start.

Here's most likely your friggin' reporter(s):
A search or today's Bush / Political trail stories was covered by: (and most likely the perp:)

DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
JOHN WHITESIDES, Political Correspondent

Googling Ms. R, seems Ms. Riechmann was caught prior, spinning an AP story re: David Kay and WMDs. Right here on FR.

The news organizations that use AP articles need to fire AP. Biased reporting is nothing new for them. In this case it's an outright lie, but no more harmful than misleading spin.

The audience gasped, not booed. Mark Belling (Milwaukee talk radio host WISN) is going after the author of the story. National AP reporter who travels with Bush is the author.

Mark Belling, WISN www.newstalk1130.com, Milwaukee, fielding calls from eyewitnesses.

Just had a guy from security standing near the print reporters call in saying there was NO booing.

That was the story I found, too. But would the AP pool have more than one reporter? We should make sure we finger the right grad of the Josef Goebbels School of Journalism.

Thank God for the Internet. Twenty years ago you wouldn't know about this for months, if ever.

WTG everyone!!

Disgraceful!!

To hate President Bush to such a level they would use President Clinton's heart attack to harm G.W through their position as a "journalist".

The overwhelming majority feel nothing but sympathy for the former President, wishing him well.

Count how many times in that article that the reporter referred to President Bush as 'Bush'....I counted 16. Disgusting...
