"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

What Media Bias?™

As I pointed out earlier the AP has corrected the photos of Senator Kerry and former President Clinton that accompanied their article about how the Kerry and Bush campaigns saw the resent economic reports. Noticeably absent was a photo of President Bush.

They've also finally gotten around to retracting their bogus story about how a crowd of Bush supporters booed former President Clinton when President Bush relayed the news about his predecessor being admited to a hospital.

Contrary to what the AP reporter "reported", the crowd applauded for former President Clinton.

Here's the audio clip (pilfered from SondraK) You can hear the crowd Oh'ing when President Bush broke the news, and applauding when he passed along everyone's best wishes.

On an aside: Forgive this humble blog-o-n00b, but man, this is impressive when you think about it. The original version of the AP article lauched a firestorm across the blogosphere. If the ensuing outrage of the bloggers had something to do with the AP getting around to fact-checking itself, this is truly a wonderful, marvelous thing.

Power to the people, baby.
