Funny how news accounts of the same event can differ so much. Take President Bush‘s appearance at Nationals Park yesterday to throw out the first pitch, for example.
AP:
He was greeted by plenty of loud jeers, but also determined cheers, as if the fans in both camps were trying to outduel each other.
More cheers than boos were heard at National Park (sic) tonight when President Bush tossed the first ceremonial pitch for the season opener of the Washington Nationals…
WP:
President Bush … at 8:13 p.m. strode onto the field to a near-equal mixture of cheers and boos ….
President Bush delivered the first pitch tonight at the new Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to a resounding chorus of boos. After being announced, Bush was showered by boos as he strode to the mound. Even after Bush delivered the pitch, the jeering did not let up until the President disappeared from the field.
