"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

AP Coverup; Media in Tank for Kerry

The Associated Press is continuing to stonewall Powerline's John Hinderaker regarding the phoney "Bush crowd booed" 'story' the AP ran last week. In his most recent update, Hinderaker names the two 'reporters' that filed the bogus AP 'story' that has now been exposed as a work of fiction. The two 'reporters' are Scott Lindlaw "a well-known Democratic partisan" and Tom Hays whose name appears on the byline of the 'story'. In his most recent effort, Hindraker, attempts again to acquire information regarding the disposition of the AP 'investigation' into the scandal and also inquires as to the disciplinary status of the AP 'reporters' in question. To date, the AP has failed to respond to Powerline's repeated requests for information on the matter, probably hoping the whole thing will simply go away.

The AP, of course, will not take your phone calls but has made this email address available for questions regarding the developing scandal: info@ap.org. If you are concerned, you might write them a nice, polite note requesting any information they might have on the Pravdalike affair.

Note: I've also requested information on the matter but the AP hasn't bothered to reply to my inquiry either (like I'm real surprised).
