What is taht old saying, "A lie will travel around the world while the truth is still putting it's boots on."
The lamestream media count on it.
Maybe Eaker has one he'll give me before he hurts Texas with it !

Thanks, I'm going to hold my fire for the moment, but the trusty database is ready when required.
Where in blazes did you get this contact info? It's impossible to get through the AP web site. They even claim on their contact page that "individual phone numbers and e-mail addresses are not available to the public" (wouldn't want reporters to have to answer for their biased reports, I guess).
If' it's a link you'd rather not share with the world, please FReepmail me.
Here's a URL with some contact info.

The AP reporter probably thinks that he and AP have little chance of a libel suit since it involves a public figure. However, the AP article is a libel against the character of the audience members as well as Bush.
The Wisconsin GOP attendees at this meeting should wait till mid-November to file a class action lawsuit against AP for defamation of character and libel.
I heard the tape of the meeting ... there were no boos and AP reporting is outrageously libelous.
Unlike Bush, the attendees are not public figures. Their reputation in their community has been damaged by AP's scurrilous report. Charges of libel might just have a chance. Monetary damages would be hard to determine, but the AP and other liars in the MSM may get a well-deserved, and well-publicized, black eye.
I just forwarded the link to Drudge.
He sorta likes to zing the MSM.
Thanks. It's a start.
Anyone serious about riding the AP's a** about their pitiful wire service reporting needs to go to the following page and save it to their hard drive:
It's a link to a photojournalism seminar page that happens to have EVERY AP bureau's address, phone number, and fax number.
Get it while it's still there. I've looked elsewhere pretty often without fail.
No e-mail addys, though. Oh well.
Have more good news.
Go to this page, which has a US map.
http://www.ap.org/pages/aptoday/map2.html
Click on each of the three regions, save each regional page to your hard drive, and you have a complete listing of all AP bureaus even in the tiniest towns.

>One, it must acknowledge that it is responsible for an outright hoax, consciously intended to damage the image of President Bush and his supporters. The outright fabrication of "did nothing to stop them" proves malicious intent.
Two, it must apologize to President Bush and his Wisconsin supporters.
Three, it must publicly identify all the people who wrote and approved the issuance of the fraudulent story.
Four, it must present to the public the backgrounds of those people identified in step three, including identification of all other political stories written by them concerning President Bush and other Republican candidates.
Five, it must call a press conference, identifying it as a historic occasion, and publicly apologize.
Six, the staff identified in step three must be fired, and the top management of AP must resign. They permitted an organization to grow which casually believed, without checking, the worst sort of personal character slander of an entire large class of people. And we're giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Seven, the AP must launch an affirmative action program to recruit conservatives at all levels, to correct the systematic discrimination which has enabled such frauds to pass muster in its editorial screening process.
That’s just for starters.<
This is the kind of thing that is MUSIC TO MY EARS. An organized effort to start holding these bastards accountable for their lazy, biased "journalism."
I don't know that site, and I don't know if there really is any organized effort, but at least someone shares my vision of standing up to the propaganda bullies.
(And I'll bet that .460 Weatherby would be a lot more comfortable with one!)
I had a 7 mil Weatherby Mag that kicked like a bay mule!
See #29 and #30 if you want to flame away.
You want ap.org. ap.com is a site that sells audio test equipment.
Karen Hughes went nuts on AP reporter about the boos

Karen gets results!
A little more on the boo-a-rama, from a reporter on the scene ...
"Karen Hughes went totally apesh-t at the AP when that dispatch hit the wire. She stormed up the bleachers and starting screaming at the AP writer (who took it in stride). "They didn't boo! Were you and I in the same rally! What is this crap?" or something along those lines (it was loud in there). The AP writer then canvassed his colleagues, who all said they hadn't heard any boos.
Say what you want about McClellan ("dreadful briefer," "talking points only"), I don't think he's ever screamed at a reporter. "
CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Fantastic! Now I know who to "boo" into the phone at!
Done! They went too far. Now, they got to deal...with the Freepers.....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Stay safe COB !
My favorite of the seven steps stipulated by the author:
Seven, the AP must launch an affirmative action program to recruit conservatives at all levels, to correct the systematic discrimination which has enabled such frauds to pass muster in its editorial screening process.
If they want us to believe they are not biased, they MUST comply with step 7.
Got it, thanks!
