Just talked to Leon, and editor at AP. He chastised me for saying that the story mentioned thousands of people booing. I said, read it, that's what the story said. He said, OK you're right.
When asked to name the reporter that said this, he said he couldn't do that. I said, aren't you interested in finding out? His response was no, that the story had been corrected. I said that it is incredible to me that the AP cannot even identify the individual who reported the falsehood. He mentioned that 4,000 people work for the AP, and that it did not seem incredible to him that he could not identify the reporter.
I am so angry, I will NOT let this rest.
