Compare And Contrast

Last week, the AP falsely reported that the audience at a Bush rally booed President Clinton after the announcement that he had been hospitalized and that President Bush "did nothing to stop them". The audio from this event clearly demonstrates that this was not the case.

Curious as to how left leaning audiences reacted to the announcement of President Reagan's death earlier this year, I did a bit of Googling and discovered this in the show archives of NPR's A Prairie Home Companion. Fast forward to around the 3:15 mark of Segment 1 and listen to the sounds of liberal civility. Pay particular attention to host Garrison Keillor actually doing nothing to stop it.

Funny, I don't remember an AP story describing that.
