AP edits story to cover Bush's ass - a must see

[ps1074]

Original story



censored one:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040903/ap_on_el_pr/bush_clinton&cid=694&ncid=1963&sid=96378798

Notice how the following paragraph disappeared

Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.

[Wickerman]

1. Nice save

:thumbsup:

bastards

[ps1074]

12. credits should go to a poster at Kos

he saved the screenshot, I just posted it here.

[shaolinmonkey]

2. What a bunch of shills.

I hate that the media constantly covers for this administration's ugliness.

[Bozita]

3. Great catch -- must be that liburl media again

congrats and thanks

[physioex]

4. Good Work.......

Thank You.....

[MissMarple]

5. Cowards.

I rate that story a lowly #1.

[JSG]

6. the original version

Original version still exists on boston.com

AND they have the following headline: "Audience boos as Bush offers best wishes for Clinton's recovery"

7. Wow Rove must be losing control

It took almost an hour, to get the story fixed?

[tandot]

I guess freepers complaint about the "liberal bias" in that article

Bush Offers Best Wishes for Clinton (Liberal bias shows again)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1206685/posts#comment?q=1




So, from now on we have to re-write history to satisfy freepers. It wouldn't be good if the world would see or hear what heartless idiots Bush supporters are. The media's job is to only report positive things coming from Bush and his supporters.

[JI7]

9. and i'm sure they love Bush since he is a man of God

and they probably did a prayer and other things.

[Claire Beth]

10. I HOPE they have it on tape....

and it's played on TV so people can HEAR the boos.

[madrchsod]

could be that it was a report

on the crowd not bush`s statement? but it`s nice to know someone slipped it in before his/her boss caught it..another small blow against the empire....

11. The original version still exists in this link:

[RoundRockD]

13. Why hasn't the media reported this!! I am tired of them protecting these

evil bastards!!

[miss_kitty]

14. glad you got a picture of it

i once posted a story that pointed up a shortcoming of the cheney-bush junta, and it morphed three times into "nothing wrong with our Pres" on the same URL-with no note of editing and no mention of the original story

i hate Yahoo! news for that...they use one URL over and over again.

by the way, the article you post here is just one more reason Bush is:
Unfit For Command

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I was just going to start a thread on this!! What is going on with

AP? I have sent them 2 emails in 2 weeks already. One was the story released to my local paper, saying BUSH SLAMS SWIFT-BOAT ADS when he was 'slamming' 527's. The other was this week on the VVA's reply to the GOP purle-heart band-aids and they added, "The bandages mock Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's claim to have earned three Purple Hearts in Vietnam." Now this... do we get to guess which story is the true one?

[cthrumatrix]

16. the bush/corporate owned propaganda machine visible for all to see

[cheezus]

17. calm down, they were just booing his health problems

damn health problems. boooo! we want bill healthy again!

[chiburb]

18. Chicago Tribune has the original...n/t

[gatorboy]

19. Perhaps it was the Yahoo News Editor that did the editing.

I work for a paper and we have the AP line running for stuff, but editors here will shorten stories to fit pages with a bulk of ads. So it's generally out of the AP's hands after a point.

I'm not saying that what was done was right, just that AP might not necessarily be responsible. I blame Yahoo news editors myself. They ran a line under a Ken Cordier pic stating he was a Swift Boat Vet not too long ago which is a bold face lie.

23. In the original story it's easy to picture the Chimpster with visions

of "shadenfruede" dancing in his head. The true nature of the Father of Compassionate Conservatism is exposed.

The "edited" story omits a key element and the facts have become distorted.

Rove and his scouts are on the constant lookout for anything that would stain his saintly image. They have plenty of money to handle the expenses.

[apnu]

20. well they didn't catch it here

26. The party of Tom Delay adopts Zell Miller and now this? Bush will

be judged by the company he keeps.

[PA Democrat]

21. I'll bet the author of that original article has been properly chastised

and warned. Karl Rove has complained to a CNN executive in the past about an anchor who said something Karl did not like.

[wickywom]

22. I saw the ABC breaking news cut in a few hours ago...

They showed the clip of Bush--
I heard NO booing.

[GOPAgainstGW]

25. I SAW IT ON C-SPAN AND HE WAS GETTING BOOED BAD!!!!!!!

[oasis]

27. "Undecided" voters get a view of "compassionate conservatives"unmasked.

And it aint pretty. :-(

[nosmokes]

29. what? you think a bush crowd booing clinton in the hospital

deserves the same editing technique as the dean scream or something?

welkome to bushco's amerika. left is right, black is white, occupation is liberation, jobs going overseas is a strong economy, and people without healthcare is compassion.

but you can own your own home...

[npincus]

24. technical question: how do you take a screen shot?

my PC skills are not the greatest- i love the screen shot of the web page. How is it done?

Anybody?

[dalfollo]

28. Print Screen /Alt Print Screen

To grab a picture of your whole screen hit the 'Print Screen' button above the Insert key...you grab an image of only the active screen (say a dialog box) use ALT + Print Screen

now it is in your memory and you can paste (Control + V) it to picture edit program or maybe your email

Enjoy

[npincus]

34. thank you!

30. How to Make, Rework, and Save a Screen Shot in Windows

Here’s a very good how-to article:

http://cty.jhu.edu/writing/techhelp/screenshot.html

Instead of using Microsoft Photo Editor or Paint, I use Irfanview Graphic Viewer/Manager to clean up the screenshot. It’s the best photo/graphics manager on the market, without the hassle of PhotoShop, and it’s free and supereasy to use.

Hope this helps – NKR

35. thank you,too!

[DeepModem Mom]

31. This is truly scary, and proof that we no longer have a free press...

Rove is watching -- and picks up the phone. He calls the reporter, or probably more often, his or her editor or producer. See my sig line.

The idea of what this country is supposed to be, the concept of democracy, means NOTHING to these people.

[Bozita]

32. This thread doesn't belong on page 3 of GD2004

This'll fix that.

[quaoar]

33. It might not have been AP that censored it

Because the first version is still here:

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-bc-ny--bush-clinton0903sep03,0,5995015.story?coll=ny-ap-regional-wire

Might have been Yahoo.
