Yahoo has replaced the headline with one which reads:
Bush's National Guard file missing records
I think that they know precisely what they are doing!
When polls suggest that Kerry is ahead it's "Kerry shown to have Commanding Lead". LOL
I was hoping the booing account was true.
After what their reporter, Mr. Hays, did re: the "supposed" booing at the Bush Rally in WI when he told the crowd about Bill Clinton being hospitalized; the AP has lost their credibility for awhile.
My local TV station in Seattle is bringing up Bush's National Guard record tonight. Haven't they heard anything about Kerry's bogus medals? Oh, that's what is meant by media bias.
Maybe the files are in Hillary's closet at the Senate, and she has no idea how they got there?
The media is going to do all they can to destroy the lead the President has.
You know, if the AP were anymore transparent, you would not be able to read the print on the page.
My local TV station out of Seattle aired an item tonight about Bush's National Guard records. Is this all they have to bring up? Of course not a peep about Kerry's bogus medals. But then again, media bias is alive and well.
I was present at that rally, in the front row, about 10 feet from President Bush. There was no booing -- at least none that was audible to the President because I would have heard it too! I've checked with others positioned in other parts of the auditorium -- including some who were sitting with the press -- and nobody heard anybody boo.
There was stunned silence for a moment, followed by polite and respectful applause.
Not only has this AP jerk libeled the President, he has libeled the good people of Milwaukee. What's more, he embellished his account by writing that the President did nothing to sotp the booing (which didn't happen in the first place.) The pPresident held 15,000 cheering citizens in the palm of his hand. He got us to be quiet when he directed, and he got us to cheer when he wanted. He was in complete control of that adoring crowd.
In addition the APs correction threw in news about impending "surgery" -- the President never said anything like that. He merely said that Clinton had been hospitalized and asked for us to send our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
The thing that disturbs me the most is in the story it mentions Kerry's medals and and tries to link Bush to the SBVT ads, but gives no mention whatsoever about the controversy surrounding the fraudulent bronze star combat V, or the Navy's investigation into Kerry's awards.

EARTHLINK uses the AP for their News/Start page. The same story has been front and center all labor day weekend.
