I haven't seen the official AP retraction that Newsmax refers to here. Has anyone else seen it?

AP is slime. They can't unring the bell. In the tank of Kerry. LSM bias is outrageously apparent at every turn.

I'm not saying my EMail to AP caused this, but I'll bet many more did.

To: kattracks
I was really PO'ed at NEWMAX for reporting on the wrong facts in the first place. They had the old story on their website for 24 hours. It had long been debunked and still it sat on their site.
I wrote both Newsmax and Carl Limbacher to complain. I think this was sloppy on their part and ruins their credibility. This story was known to be false almost right after the original appeared yesterday afternoon. One just needs to LISTEN to the audio and read the original transcripts of President Bush's speech to prove there were no boos.
This situation just proves most news outlets report blindly without their own research. If a few Free Republic posters can debunk this story within minutes why can't the media?
I'm still livid. I will not let AP and those that continued this charade off the hook.

The retraction should be the story.
Where's the accountability -- who reported? why? other articles attributed to this person? all this, not to mention other AP lies and distortion.

At this moment it's still up at the Newsday and Guardian sites.

If the AP can monkey around with a clear black and white issue like whether or not there were boos, imagine what they have been doing with stories that are not so clear cut.
Yep, there's no left wing biases at all/sarcasm.

Notice that, in the "retraction" the AP REPEATED the false charge that the crowd booed at news of Clinton's heart attack/surgery FOUR TIMES!
More repeats of that lie than in the original story itself!

Yeah, but after the correction, the damage has already been done and achieved the desire effect (to paint the Republicans as "mean and heartless"). Such blatant, partisan misinformation is frightening.

Is there a link to the retraction. I know folks who will not believe this unless they see the retraction in print with an AP byline. (And even then some won't believe it.)
To: kattracks
We should thank the AP. This story makes the Swifties look more credible than "old media".

Has Hays been fired to for deliberately fabricating a story?
To: kattracks
That's not a retraction, it's a correction. A retraction would be in the headline.
Damage is done. Quite simply, if they are committed to integrity, Hays' head should roll for this breech.
And they need to know that.
