SilverNRed Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Anyone catch the Associated Press article early this afternoon about Bush commenting on President Clinton's bad news today? Apparently the crowd booed when Bush wished Clinton a speedy recovery. I was pretty miffed that anyone would boo well wishes directed towards a former POTUS. Turns out it didn't happen. Link What bias?
IDBillzFan Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 So when the AP ran a story that said McGahee wanted to start or be traded this year, maybe they were lying???

They can't tell the difference between Drew Rosenhaus and Willis McGahee. Those two are like twins, after all.

Link What bias? 17865[/snapback] Umm, and you are surprised by this? Come on, if they could have snuck it by they would have. The problem is there are simple too many outlets today, and the huddled masses do not have to rely on what abc, cbs, nbc, or the ap says as the only source. They can and will be challenged and when they lie...they will be exposed.
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 The AP is now saying they were "ooohs." "He is in our thoughts and prayers," Bush said at a campaign rally in Wisconsin. The crowd reacted with applause and with some "ooohs," apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill. Link
SilverNRed Posted September 5, 2004 Author Posted September 5, 2004 This is priceless. Some lefty blog claims to have an 'alternate' audio clip of the speech WITH the booing. On the fake-ness scale, it ranks right up there with Arnold's dubbed voice in "Hercules in New York" all those years ago. Go listen to it - you'll enjoy a good laugh. LINK BTW, AP has offered an official retraction of their story. Good for them. An explanation would be a whole helluva lot more meaningful and important.

SilverNRed Posted September 5, 2004 Author Posted September 5, 2004 And AGAIN. It's a changing of the guard. The old dinosaurs of the mainstream media are going extinct - suddenly you can't dictate your version of events to the masses and not be called on it. All hail the internet: PORN and TRUTH for everyone!!!! (in that order)
slothrop Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 i don't want to comment on this either way other than to say that the first I heard of the story was on the BBC - and there were clear boo's. If it happened, it is not a commentary on Bush, rather it is on the world Limabaugh and the other nutty right-wing media folks who fostered an irrational anti-clinton atmosphere.

If one existed, it'd be everywhere. This is the internet age. Zell Miller and Chris Matthews get into a tussle on Hardball late at night and the video is available a couple hours later. The best we have is a horrible fake. No one who was there said there was booing. The AP retracted the claim completely.
