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.

Relax...it's a major holiday weekend. 95% of reporters/editors are on vacation. Save your ammo for Tuesday
