Hmm, Scott and Deb will be surprised, as will Mr Kinsolving, if what's been posted here previously is correct!

[steplock]

someone posted the name email address of the reporter on here earlier today --- along with his boss's

Wasn't it Tom Hayes?

Although Tom Hays was by-lined for the story, as KingKongCobra has pointed out, it is Deb Riechmann and Scott Lindlaw who are traveling with the President, and who would've been in the position to write such a story. Furthermore, I think it was Mr. Lindlaw who was singled out as the culprit.

To which Milwaukee Bush-Cheney's Brain responded: "Can you imagine most corporations responding like this?"

Sadly, yes I can. They don't want to get sued and lose.

he/she will probably be severely reprimanded:
1 week off with pay.

Message I sent previously...

Come on HAMMER THE AP FOR THEIR FRAUD AND COVER UP!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

info@ap.org; adalton@knightridder.com; thays@ap.org; tcurley@ap.org

And I copied the following conservative media outlets

chall@cnsnews.com; adams_mike@hotmail.com; dlimbaugh@worldnetdaily.com; ilana@ilanamercer.com; ivanlee@talkamerica.com; OldRightWingGal@yahoo.com; production@talkamerica.com; liberty@fcref.org; michael.a.savage@abc.com; Talkback@cnn.com; wxyt@wxyt.com; Beyondthenews@foxnews.com; Colmes@foxnews.com; Comments@foxnews.com; Foxnewsnow@foxnews.com; Friends@foxnews.com; Newswatch@foxnews.com; oreilly@foxnews.com; Speakout@foxnews.com

Do Tom Hays and Jason Blair have something in common--, false reporting?

Unlike the New York Times however, the AP and Knight-Ridder have decided to try to bury the false reporting and cover it up. Why do the AP and Knight-Ridder, *supposedly* objective news reporting organizations, see fit to attack Republicans?

The AP and Knight-Ridder should seriously consider making a VERY POINTED EFFORT to openly correct this and help Mr. Hays understand that false reporting is NOT tolerated by the AP or by Knight-Ridder. Or is it?

Please see:

http://www.intellectualconservative.com/article3765.html (excerpt below)

Last commented, “So the AP: (1) Puts out a story with falsified reporting; (2) Pulls the story; (3) Removes the faulty reporting; (4) Makes no note of its mistake; and then (5) Pulls the byline of the reporter who made the error. If you were going to impute bad faith to the folks at AP -- and at this point that's not unreasonable to do -- you might suspect that they have pulled Tom Hays's byline to protect him.”

This story is beginning to get legs, to demonstrate the sheer bias and passionate contempt the "main stream media" has for Republicans and conservatives. Isn't it time you made a very public effort of ensuring that there is a serious effort at correcting this?

And shouldn't the AP also take a few of the Anti-Bush photos from its web site? Your passionate hatred of Bush and Republicans is only too obvious.

Ping!

[Ironclad]

Tom Hays is correct. I sent him and his boss an email, but don't expect a reply. The link to the email addresses is in several threads. Do a search on Hays and you'll find his email address.

[Paleo Conservative]

His name is Tom Hays.

Here is his contact info:

[broadsword]

The AP lies and protects its sacred fellow liars.

[TaxRelief]

I was sure I saw the name TOM HAYS on the first "draft".

We should go back through every article he's written, and see what other lies he has told.
