Someone at DU posted her e-mail address to thank her. I don't know if it is still valid, but here it is:

Jennifer Loven is in a bit of trouble now. She went too far with her bias this time, and Editor and Publisher did a story on it.

I wish it were so, Sky Pilot, but read the E&P piece again.

AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll said the piece was "a good way to explain to readers what rhetorical devices people, in this case the president, use to make their point." She also did not believe the article should have been labeled opinion or needed to include any White House comment. "This was not a piece that was critical, it was explanatory," Carroll said.

In a statement, AP spokesman Jack Stokes wrote: "Jennifer Loven's story was one of an ongoing series of fact-checking stories that dig beyond the rhetoric. Editors tell us they want more of these stories."

So, not only do they defend her smear, they want MORE of it!!!!!

The MSM and DNC have fully merged. There is no difference.

On Monday, Washington Post blogger Dan Froomkin called Loven's piece "a bold departure for Associated Press," adding that Bush's straw-man arguments are "extensive and generally unchallenged."

LOL! If you look up "barking moonbat" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Dan Froomkin...
