The Associated Press has spiked reporting on the press conference this morning in Washington, D.C. by John O'Neill and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth where they accused fellow Vietnam veteran and Swift boat unit member Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the presumed Democratic party nominee for president, of being "unfit to be commander in chief."
The stunning revelation was confirmed by the AP's Washington bureau this evening. A spokeswoman for the AP stated that the wire service had sent a reporter to cover the press conference. However, she said the AP decided against running a news article about it because, "It does not further the anti-Kerry Vietnam veteran story any."
Call these numbers tomorrow, not tonight because you'll just get the night staff. The decision makers work the day shift. I've already called both bureaus this evening.
The phone number for the AP's Washington, D.C. bureau is (202) 776-9400.
The phone number for the AP's New York City headquarters is (212) 621-1500. Ask to speak to the president of AP as that is who the D.C. bureau chief anwers to.

The only good reason is if Kerry asked them to hold it off until tomorow when he will give them the exclusive of his stepping down. ;-)
P.S. - You do great first hand reports, keep up the good work(s), and, Thanks.

John Kerry was in Viet Nam? Why hasn't this come out before? ........O'Neill has been brilliant, and prepared for the attack.

I've got to wonder, the AP, CBS have yet to highlight who controls ANSWER yet they seem very concerned that "Republicans" are behind Swift Boat. GASP stop the presses!

Screw the AP. For the life of me I can't figure out why so many people get all bent out of shape when the AP, NYT, CNN, etc. show their true colors.
To: kristinn
My only guess as to why Rush didn't cover this was because he hadn't seen it yet. I'm sure he'll be on it tommorow.
Dear AP Clymers;
You're getting scooped by alternate media. How does it feel?

Hundreds of vets signed the Swift Boat complaint against Kerry. HUNDREDS! That AP will ignore this is one more example of the Old Media's death rattle.
They aren't dying near quick enough for my liking.......
I'd really like to see a "fair and balanced" news wire.
