and I don't think the AP has named the writer who wrote this lie.

If they retract (a big IF), AP will note that the report was meant to say "cheers" but through a typographical error, it said "jeers." Anyone could make that mistake, no?

"Caught in the act! The Old Media is has become a very silly joke."

But more dangerous than ever.

My guess would be Ron Fournier.

The AP has failed in this feeble attempt at gluteus protectus.

The original byline was Tom Hays. Which is confusing, b/c he works out of NYC. Was he even IN Wisconsin?

mark belling (milwaukee talk show host, sub for rush) said he believed the reporter was scott lindlaw. He tried calling the milwaukee ap branch and they refused to tell him who actually wrote it.

So he gave out their number and told the listeners to keep calling all the way through the weekend and just ask "what's the name?"

All he had to do was turn a TV on, which I am sure it was, but he injected his Liberal bias into the story. Doesn't matter if you happen to be in WI or NYC, you don't need to be there to report on the crowd reaction in a live shot.

I read somewhere on a blog (I forget which one) that Scott Lindlaw wrote the original piece. He has written other deeply misleading stories about Bush (what a shock).

No, it's been tracked back to a fellow named Tom Hays. I have the latest here. Read it all...quite a few updates...

Somebody mentioned that it was a writer who had been chastised by MRC? for writing anti-Bush stuff.

Well, I'm sure the fellow will be fired. Sure he will.

That's the citation I saw, not Hays.

Thanks for the update. This is infuriating. Not surprising, but still infuriating.

GO to the link, flashbunny.
AP apparently tried to cover tracks, but the Lexis Nexis electronic trail reveals the original byline as Tom Hays.

The original reports that Lindlaw did the story are incorrect.
