Okay I found the article. From the Washington post by "journalist" Dan Froomkin. Soooooooooooo... Dan Froomkin knows more than General Petraeus? And Pelosi trusts Dan Froomkin's word over General Petraeus's word? And Dan Froomkin is quoting a LA Times story for his information!

Good God you'd have to be brain dead to vote for a Democrat and to swallow the MSM's bile.

Whose Report Is It, Anyway?

Political reporters at The Wash Post don’t like WPNI [Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive] columnist Dan Froomkin’s “White House Briefing,” which is highly opinionated and liberal. They’re afraid that some readers think that Froomkin is a [Washington] Post White House reporter.

John Harris, national political editor at the print Post, said, “The title invites confusion. It dilutes our only asset — our credibility” as objective news reporters. Froomkin writes the kind of column “that we would never allow a White House reporter to write. I wish it could be done with a different title and display.”

Harris is right; some readers do think Froomkin is a White House reporter. But Froomkin works only for the Web site and is very popular — and [Executive Editor of the website Jim] Brady is not going to fool with that, though he is considering changing the column title and supplementing it with a conservative blogger.

Froomkin said he is “happy to consider other ways to telegraph to people that I’m not a Post White House reporter. I do think that what I’m doing, namely scrutinizing the White House’s every move — with an attitude — is in the best traditions of American and Washington Post journalism.”
