But AP is still refusing to name the reporter of their anonymous hit piece, aren't they?
LOL. Ain't it amazing the power us poor, ignorant, American civilians are accumulating because of the internet. I'LL GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE ONLY REASON THE AP CHANGED IT WAS BECAUSE A GAZILLION FREEPERS SENT THEM EMAILS COMPLAINING!
Not that I know of.
I am going on a day trip with my kids today, so I can't follow this.
I hope other Freepers who have time can keep a look out for this lie today and keep it on the front burner.
Yes, we need to find out, and make this their epitaph.
Thank goodnes for the internet.

He can run, but he can't hide.
BYLINE: TOM HAYS; Associated Press Writer
His name is Tom Hays. Someone tracked it down on another thread.
Female reporter. I think Al Rantel might have named her on his show last night but I don't remember it.
Whoops ----- now they are saying a guy named Tom Hayes. Maybe it was a different story I heard on Rantel.
Apparently he has been outed by a blogger using Lexis-Nexis, and his name is Tom Hays. I think he should receive a massive Freep.
From Instpundit:
"Apparently, this story is not by Scott Lindlaw, as earlier reported, but by Tom Hays.
Jonathan Last has more on this, and observes:
"So the AP: (1) Puts out a story with falsified reporting; (2) Pulls the story; (3) Removes the faulty reporting; (4) Makes no note of its mistake; and then (5) Pulls the byline of the reporter who made the error. If you were going to impute bad faith to the folks at AP--and at this point that's not unreasonable to do--you might suspect that they have pulled Tom Hays's byline to protect him.
Behold the power of Lexis-Nexis. The AP was able to cover their tracks on the web, but Lexis-Nexis keeps all versions of stories which carry different time-stamps. The Hays original is preserved there in its entirety.
It was probably Michael "Y'gonna Eat That?" Moore. After his stint with USA Toady (no typo), I imagine he's taking his brown spoon elsewhere to stir the pot.
