Media outlets provide modified, baseless version of oft-repeated falsehood about Casey's denial of speaking slot at the 1992 DNC

SUMMARY: Two AP articles claimed that "the late Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P. Casey ... was not given a marquee speaking spot at the 1992 convention because of his anti-abortion views," an assertion echoed in posts on ABC News' Political Radar blog and Mark Halperin's The Page. Each advanced a modified version of the old falsehood, much repeated, that Casey was denied a speaking role at the convention because he opposed abortion rights.
