Jon Last at galley slaves broke this.....I just happened to see it over at instapundit.

Still, you're the bearer of good news, so you get at least some credit.

Because no else else is responsible for the words "Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wisconsin, booed. Bush did nothing to stop them." Those words came from his own fingers.

I'm not sure that is true. Tom Hayes' byline appears on a much longer article, that could well be an agglomeration of original works by others. You are entitled to be convinced you have identified the right guy, but I'm not, not yet, and certainly not on this evidence.

"Cocaine is VERY hard on the heart."

BINGO!! That was the 1st thing I thought of.

Perhaps copy emails to Hays to info@ap.org -- I couldn't locate emails of any AP senior execs. specifically at the AP website.

Glad to see the spotlight shining on that jerkwad and his propaganda. It was an outrage but not completely surprising.

Just another mound of dirt over the coffin of the MSM

Not only did the not boo, the real story, is that they clapped and cheered. (in approval of the Presidents request for prayers.)

[Cboldt]

They [AP] sent out a LIE.....then scrubbed the internet of the orginial story and quote ......then removed the reporters byline......BUT forgot Lexis-Nexis saves everything and even includes a time stamp.

It is not "out of style" for the original short story, for whatever reason, to go out without a byline.

I absolutely agree that the organization, AP, is the bigger story. ANd, while they are unwilling to be transparant as to who the author was, falsely accusing all of the suspects may result in getting credible denails afrom some of them (e.g., if Hays was in New York, he is unlikely to have created the original report, and merely incorporated the original report into a longer article).

Thanks for the ping.

Did you see today's WaPo, depicting Bush as a criminal?

Tom Hays needs to be asked if he put that comment in or if his editor or someone else did. I seem to remember another reporter whose articles were totally twisted by the news source, Reuters or AP , and they wouldn't correct the articles or remove her name.

Here's something done by AP [not Hays]: AP Claims Net Scoop As Its Own -- Again Misappropriates Copyrighted Story About FBI Weapons Guide

[freepy smurf]

The libs sense the impending doom and they're throwing tantrums everywhere. We can see it right here on FR, troll "post and run" antics are on the increase and now Tom Hays; Dedicated Man of Letters, has shredded his own integrity.

Watch out for pavement divers on Nov. 3rd.

Matt jumped to soon. Without finding the money trail he couldn't tie it all together. Johnny was having an affair with the young lady. The father did a 180 in his opinion of Johnny from attack to he is a swell guy. All of a sudden the daughter was getting hitched and going to Africa...Hmmmmm!?!?!? I haven't been able to track it down either. Cash is hard to trace especially when it goes through third parties.

Here's the one where Reuters altered a reporter's original story:

Reuters Changes reporter's Story to Match Liberal Spin

[hellinahandcart]

The contributing authors were listed as reporting from New York, New York, Little Rock, and New York.

I don't see any mention of a contributing reporter from West Allis, Wisconsin, do you? Even thought they were presumably satisfied with version 1 when they released it?

This is a pure invention by Tom Hays, as he sat on his ass in Manhattan and projected. I'd bet the farm on it, if I had one.

[hoosiermama]

Agree. Plus she has more financially to gain from his death....a divorce can be very costly.

[sam_paine]

Really! Cool! Where's the audio of it?!?!

[hoosiermama]

My father and I both said it was the first thing that popped into our heads, when we discussed it hours after the story broke...."He's been using again.".....All the more reason to pray for this wretched soul.
