Example of what the MEDIA is doing to John Kerry.
Get this. Here are two supposed answers to the same question:

http://www.news24.com/News24/World/US_Elections/0,,2-10-1665_1596994,00.html

"We should not have gone into Iraq knowing today what we know," Kerry told ABC. "Knowing there was no imminent threat to America, knowing there were no weapons of mass destruction, knowing there was no connection between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein, I would not have voted to support war."

Now for the ACTUAL quote.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&ncid=703&e=4&u=/ap/20040929/ap_on_el_pr/kerry

"We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know today," Kerry told ABC. "Knowing there was no imminent threat to America, knowing there were no weapons of mass destruction, knowing there was no connection of Saddam Hussein to Al Qaida, I would not have gone to war. That's plain and simple."

I would like some help blasting this to the media ... Thanks.

Thanks to Sparkly for finding this information. :hi:

1. I saw the " would not have voted to support war." quote and was WTF?
I knew it didn't sound right. I can't believe this. This has got to be illegal.

4. Call Them
Call News24. The AP story was changed to be accurate after they were called on it. See AP story now running on Yahoo.

5. I don't know how to reach them, and I think the AP needs to run a
retraction as the story that went out over the "wires" was apparently incorrect?

6. This will be all over the news as a flip flop if we don't act.
I've been blasting the media, but this is big shit just before a debate. It would cement the "Kerry's a flip flopper" BS.

It would be nice to have some help-o with getting this to the media.

Thanks. :hi:
