Ditto, I wrote them the day it happened. They completely ignored my email, of course.

Have done already, I don't think AP, CBS,CNN, or any of the MSM gives a flying fig about their credibility anymore. They know that we know and they don't seem to care. I don't count on them to be any more fair and unbiased,but at least they can know that we know.

Goldberg wrote the book "Bias" and gathered data from many sources and many different years.

I sure hope that someone (Ann?) is writing a book right now that covers the time period Jan 2004 - Nov 2004 and has the following chapters:

CNN
ABC
CBS
NBC
PBS
MSNBC
NYT
LA Times
Boston Globe
etc

That details headlines, photo choices, story placement, etc. that proves beyond a doubt that good news for Bush is typically given on page E7, and good news for Dems is A1 above the fold.

The (non)coverage of the Swift Vets, the forged papers, the call for National Guard Records, the (non)call for Form 180 ... this year is an amazing year.

I also sent emails and talked with AP personnel about the false report here:

info@ap.org

212-621-1500

212-621-6060

Freepers: Please keep calling & emailing AP.
They need to issue an apology to the President & those at the Tally.

Make sure the biased Lindlaw is no longer covering the Bush Campaign!

OK, I sent another email. I sent one to knightrider (sp?) who repeated this story and received two polite emails concerning this issue. Nothing from AP. Guess their position as kerry shills would be endangered if they handle this with honesty and decency.

I learned from The American Thinker, quoting from Powerline, that an Ohio news site, ONN, had carried that story with the booing byline. I wrote to the contact person. I wasn't nasty or angry; I just simply asked them a question then stated the facts and gave them The American Thinker website that carried the timeline of this story at the time.

The contact was very courteous and said they sent it to their web editor and they would make corrections if they haven't been made already. When I went back to check the page with that Bush-bashing, AP story, it was GONE!

Whoo-hoo! The power of the NEW Media! And the "little folks" like me!

There is such an opportunity here if Bush could see it. The worst mistake AP made was the bogus correction.

AP should be banned from any Presidential coverage until a second correction is made. This is so obvious that if the Bush camp fails to act then they almost deserve what AP will continue to do.

nice work - what will cause the AP to take action is if newspaper editors get these and they start asking questions. The AP customer is not the reader but the news outlet.

I'd like to suggest when posting stories from blogs, instead of posting the url to the home page where a story might be found for a few days, the poster should post the permalink so that weeks from now, we will be able to find the original story.

The permalink for this story is  http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/007763.php .  I did a search on Lindlaw and have found many complaints about his bias on FreeRepublic.  He seems to be one of the most consistantly biased reporters(?).  I wonder why he still has a job.
