I'm glad you noted that. This is where some of my confusion rests.

Call AP's National Desk at 212-621-1600 and ask. If you are polite, they will talk to you, unless of course they have a breaking story they are working on.

Keep it polite and short, they'll asnwer questions.

My pleasure. It seems the majority of FReepers are attributing the story to Hays. Even if that attribution is incorrect, the AP deserves to get buried with complaints.

Really good letters here ... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1206812/posts?page=89#89

"Thank you for your quick response, but damage has already been done. How about your local news dept. doing a story about the error, why and how it happened, and who is responsible. National media need to be held accountable for errors like this, this should not just be pulled. If you listen to the audio of the rally, this is not just a simple mistake, it is a fabrication. Are you comfortable having reporters feed you stories containing this kind of error? It also affects your credibility and reputation when it's posted on your site, and you can get out ahead of it by making the error itself the story."
