AP Reporter in 'Clinton Booed' Flap Stands by Claim

Why is it when the liberal/socialist/democrats are caught in a blatant audacious lie they continue to deny reality and suffer no negative consequences?

Contrast that to when a conservative/republican makes an innocent gaff (i.e. congratulating an old man on his 100th birthday) that conservative/republican suffers the righteous moral indignation of the Media, and is humiliated and disgraced to the point they resign.

It just baffles and nauseates me nearly to the point of retching.

[sarcasm]Oh but there is no liberal "Media Bias". If anything there is a conservative "Media Bias", because as you know the Media is owned by evil greedy capitalist corporations.[/sarcasm]

[sionnsar]

Heard the audio of it. Just another case, in a long string of cases reaching back over the years, of MSM lies...

[steplock]

By his own words .....

Lindlaw said, "What I HAD to say I put in the wire."

[Artemis Webb]

Scott Lindlaw

Know thy enemy

Remember that name

[coconutt2000]

Whoopie Goldberg said a lot of crude and inappropriate things about the President and Vice President... Nobody booed, and John Kerry did nothing to stop her. In fact, he praised her and included her in calling Hollywood performers the Heart and Soul of America.

Now, that's damning and true!

[liberty_lvr]

Because Republicans are adults who accept responsibility for their actions.

Dims are petulant children who stomp their little feet and indignantly declare, "I'm not wrong, you're wrong!"

[Williams]

Folks, they are leftists, they hate republicans as "nazis" they don't give a damn about the truth they are not reporters and they are getting worse and worse because republicans, but ultimately Americans, let them get away with it.

[speedy]

We've put Dan Rather on the ropes. Scott Lindlaw doesn't have a prayer. Just keep watching what he does, and keep the heat on. Nobody punks the blogosphere.

[Sprite518]

They leanred from Clinton.

[plangent]

And why would the AP byline the article with Tom Hays, sitting in New York in his pajamas, when Scott Lindlaw was the actual reporter on the scene?

Inquiring minds want to know what evil lurks in the minds of the AP editors?

[Sprite518]

They have learned from Clinton.

[BallyBill]

Ignore the tapes, ignore the audio, just swallow what the media spoons out. This guy can be another notch in our belt. Pathetic wanker. He heard a boo because he WANTED to hear a boo.

[TruthWillWin]

Must be related to Dan Rather.

[rod1]

Oh this is rich--as Warner Wolf would say--let's go to the tape. Sounds like Scott is a Dan Rather wannabe. Auditioning to be his replacement no doubt.

[Landru]

"Why is it when the liberal/socialist/democrats are caught in a blatant audacious lie they continue to deny reality and suffer no negative consequences?"

Ummmmm.

...because they don't?

[gogipper]

"What are you going to believe, me or the audio file?" What a POS. I am going to look for him next time the Pres is in town.

[XEHRpa]

Well, you see, the AP hired an "expert" speech analyst to analyze and validate the tape for veracity. But, it turns out, he didn't actually get to hear the tape... the AP reporter just described to him what was on it.

[The Bandit]

Sounds to me this is the new wave of media reporting: report made-up lies and then stand by them will than turn the reported lies into truth. We can thank CBS for this new kind of reporting.

[kingu]

And why would the AP byline the article with Tom Hays, sitting in New York in his pajamas, when Scott Lindlaw was the actual reporter on the scene?

Offhand guess? I'd say that the AP was unsure about Scott's reporting abilities and had Tom Hays write it up to make sure that it was at least basically factual. It backfired because Scott lied.

[rockrr]

When asked if he heard booing as he reported, he replied, "I did."

Lindlaw declined to be interviewed but insisted that his reporting was accurate.

Lindlaw said, "What I had to say I put in the wire."


ASS-ociated press should stake this guy to a hearing test - or a sanity test......
