Aw Snap! Now This is Just Straight Up Wrong!
From Oh, That Liberal Media:
This was from an Associated press story:
WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday wished Bill Clinton (news - web sites) “best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery.” “He’s is in our thoughts and prayers,” Bush said at a campaign rally. Bush’s audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.
There’s just one problem: the boos were non-existent. I personally saw the announcement of Clinton’s heart problems by Bush, and the only thing heard from the audience was polite applause.
This excerpt is from Swimming Through the Spin:
Needless to say, there was massive outrage. Many on the thread had listened to the speech live and heard no boos at all and were screaming liberal media bias…and rightfully so. Others e-mailed the AP to express their displeasure. So, minutes later, a new version gets posted to the same yahoo link and another thread pops up on Free Republic:
AP gets caught “wagging the dog”!
