Hays is not a reporter so much as a disguised Natural Law Party activist.
5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires

Several readers have written to let us know that the email address for Tom Hays, the reporter who wrote the false AP story about a Republican crowd booing the announcement of Bill Clinton's hospitalization in West Allis, Wisconsin, and President Bush doing "nothing to stop them." It is thays@ap.org.
I have written Mr. Hays to ask whether he has anything to say in his own defense. I also asked him whether he was actually at the rally. I promised Mr. Hays that if he has anything to say for himself, we will gladly print it, and millions will see his defense as it circulates through the blogosphere.
I would encourage you to send polite emails to Mr. Hays at the above address, asking him to explain why he wrote a false article. I'd like to have a dialogue with Mr. Hays somewhat like the one we enjoyed with Jim Boyd.
UPDATE: Reader and fellow-blogger Peter Cook passes along this contact information for the Associated Press:

I wrote letters to all the AP editors in Milwaukee and New York yesterday. I am eagerly waiting a response but will not hold my breath.
Did you let the AP know what you think?

Why doesn't the AP give him the boot?
Mr. Hays may need to be reminded.
thays@ap.org
Nicely done. If the "Old Media" won't police their own, we'll call them out in public and destroy what's left of their reputation.
Why should I "politely" kiss the ass of some lying piece of s**t?
Yes, I'm perfectly serious.
I don't give the time of day to those who are unprofessional, let alone blatant liars. This guy can just kiss my ass. Tell him so.....as politely as you wish.
This is war, and I don't take prisoners any more.

Perhaps he's useful to their ends.
Please elaborate, I have not followed this story closely but I came across your post about Hays being a "natural law party" activist. Is this true? I was unaware of a natural law party. How would this give him incentive to lie about Bush being booed?
Let's open a dialogue with Chuck Colson. He's got a lot of talking to do about the Watergate break-in and the VVAW.

It's annoying when your phone rings all day at work.
It makes it hard to get anything done until you've resolved the problem.
Mr. .Hays,
AP used to be looked upon as a news organization that could be trusted to cut through the hogwash and get to the facts.
Your article where you claimed that the audience "BOOOO'd" the announcement of Bill Clinton going into the hospital and that President Bush "did nothing about it" was slanderous and untrue.
If your journalistic workmanship is so poor that you failed to get the facts before you published your article, you should be demoted to "copy boy" until you hone your trade a bit.
If your journalistic workmanship is biased to the point where your print falsehoods intentionally, you need to find other work altogether as your work is harming your employer as well as the public.
Sincerely,

Feel free to leave a polite message on their voice mail service, too.
Feel free to leave a voice mail message for them, too.

I wrote him a few days ago.
