AP FIBBED, CLINTON LIVED:

AP Retracts 'Clinton Booed' Story (NewsMax, 9/04/04)

The Associated Press has retracted its Friday afternoon report that a crowd at a Bush rally in West Allis, Wisc., booed when President Bush offered ex-President Clinton best wishes for a speedy recovery from coronary bypass surgery scheduled for next week.

To their credit, that's about three weeks faster than the Times corrects itself when it gets the Right wrong.

The spin now is that the Crowd "Oooohed" instead of "Boooooed".

Oh YEAH, that's the ticket!

Does the media not understand that there are thousands of us out here now that are watching and can see when they are lying? Did they think they just wouldn't get caught?

Some blogs have posted the names, addresses, and e-mail addresses of the AP Milwaukee lead, the reporter who wrote the initial story, and the National AP desk lead in D.C. Sock it to 'em!

Check the Captainsquarters for the link.
