This guy should hang out with Dan Rather.
He's just trying to get on the cocktail circuit in D.C.
Some things never change -- Lindlaw was a jerk in 2000 and has been ever since. AP is getting to have about the same credibility as CBS -- zero, zip, nada! So now we have Lindlaw appearing under a different by-line as we all know he is biased?
If that's true, why didn't Laidlaw's name go on the byline instead of a guy (Hayes) who wasn't there?
And, then when AP corrected the story, there was no reporter bylined?
Translation: "McAuliffe's check cleared. I did what I was paid to do. Leave me alone."
What a Clymer.
Okay ... well, then go over there and stand next to Gunga Dan.
What is wrong with these people??
Is he the guy that authenticated the CBS memos?
Okay, I'm reasonably certain that there just might have been one or two low-lifes at the rally and that they might have boo'ed the President when he spoke of Clinton. Just remeber the reactions some here at FR had.
BUT - to report "the crowd booed" and the President did nothing to stop it is beyond belief.
I guess the New Ethics in Journalism states - report whatever fits your agenda and, when confronted with overwhelming evidence that your report is false, stick by your report and refuse to answer any further questions.
Then it was an error to change the story.
Here's a jab to all those who accused Tom Hays of being the original author.
Scott Lindlaw -- remember that name, it's the name of another liar from the MSM.
He spoke the truth at least:
Lindlaw said, "What I had to say I put in the wire."
What he H A D to say ???
The poor devil's hearing "voices". What else can you say?

Direct phone number to AP President & CEO Tim Curley
1-212-621-7550
He usually picks up his own phone.
I've spoken to him about the AP's "1000 booed while Bush did nothing" and I called to ask why the AP hasn't requested Kerry's military records.
On the Military record issue, the guy tried to lie to me that the AP had seen ALL of Kerry's records and there was nothing to report. I asked how that could be since Kerry hasn't signed Form 180 and released all his records. Silence, thank you, click.
Sounds like Mr. Curley needs another call from me.

This part is true.
Just like CBS. Don't admit you're wrong in the face of rock solid evidence.

That’s a Stretch, Scott
As Instapundit points out this morning, Scott Lindlaw of the Associated Press tries really, really hard to link Bush's appearance at the Daytona 500 Sunday back to the story about his National Guard service.
Writes Lindlaw:
With his wife, Laura, trailing him, Bush walked the pit, mingling with drivers, shaking hands with fans. He peered into car No. 16, sponsored by the National Guard, and if the car reminded him of the tempest swirling around his own service in the Texas Air National Guard, he didn't show it.
Scott also looks back, with this non sequitur: "The president got a much warmer reception than Bill Clinton did when he visited a NASCAR race as a candidate in September 1992, when the question of his lack of Vietnam-era military service was dogging Clinton."
Evidently if you send Lindlaw to a NASCAR race, instead of journalism you get armchair psychoanalysis and a history lesson. We can't wait to see how he covers the NCAA tournament.

We may be inching closer to the truth about the false Associated Press report claiming that a Republican crowd in West Allis, Wisconsin, booed the announcement that President Clinton had been hospitalized, and "President Bush did nothing to stop them."
We have an inside source who was present at the rally and is familiar with the reporters involved. Our source tells us that Tom Hays, whose byline was on the false AP report, was not at the West Allis rally. He is not one of the AP reporters assigned to cover President Bush, and is believed to have been in New York at the time.
Our source says that the AP reporter behind the story was Scott Lindlaw. Lindlaw is one of the AP reporters who cover the Bush campaign. His anti-Bush prejudices are well-known; our source has heard him say that his "mission" is to see that Bush is not re-elected.
On the day of the West Allis rally, Lindlaw was wearing ear plugs in his ears, as he often does to minimize crowd noise. After Bush's speech, he approached another AP reporter and said that he thought he had heard boos, and asked whether his colleague had heard any. The second AP reporter said that she didn't hear any booing. Nevertheless, Lindlaw apparently sent in a story, which wound up for some unexplained reason under Tom Hays' byline, which said:
Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.
We will add questions about Mr. Lindlaw to those we are directing to the Associated Press.
