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

Don't you mean thank Al Gore for the internet? ;-)

Mark Belling of 1130 WISN AM in Milwaukee just spoke off the radio to the AP Bureau in Milwaukee.

The AP spokesman said that he WILL NOT DIVULGE the name of the AP reporter that covered President Bush in West Allis, WI today. The AP spokesman then told Mark Belling that he wasn't even going to try and find out.

The PHONE NUMBER for the AP OFFICE in Milwaukee, is 414-225-3580...call and ask them for the name of the REPORTER!!

The Phone is currently busy...

The local Milwaukee bureau of the AP has told Mark Belling that it was a national reporter covering the President's campaign, but refused to provide the name of the reporter. Mark has requested that his listeners call the local AP and demand that they release the name of the reporter. The number for those interested is (414) 225-3580.

Deb is a likely source but Scott Lindlaw wrote an article on the event today too.

And AP also uses local stringers, one of whom could have put in the "booing" claim.

It was NOT a local stringer. The Milwaukee office of the AP told someone in town here that it was an AP reporter traveling with W.

Note to all the companies who buy AP stories: IS THIS REALLY WHO YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH?

And then read the story there.

"AP has told Mark Belling that it was a national reporter "

That narrows it down to Deb or Scott then.

If you do a Google search on Deb Reichmann, you'll see that there's been quite a few articles that are questionable, and have raised suspicions.

Printed media is dead... sites like FR and others are way better for getting your news.

Ah! Scott Lindlaw - Another Bush basher posing as a reporter. See.

http://www.instapundit.com/archives/014195.php

And, you can get a condensed version of Lindlaw coverage.

http://www.pelicanfile.com/reporter.cfm?ReporterID=352

Fifteen articles: references to "President Bush": 0 for 15. references to "Bush"? 15 for 15.

Hey, Laidlaw! Your bias shows.

If managing editors threaten to cancel AP wire services, which is unlikely as almost all of them are in the tank alongside AP for the Democrats, only then will AP fess up and fire the miscreant reporter.

I'd guess that it was Deb too, but Laidlaw's pretty bad too.

AP is so unprofessional the "booing" remark could have been added by an editor just because he felt like it. That's how bad AP is.
