Notice. Jenifer Loven is married to a DNC big wig and Democrat Activist. The AP has been repeatedly contacted about her clear conflict of intrest yet refuses to reassign her to other reporting duties. Her assignment as AP's primary Washington DC Political reporter is proof of the AP's basic political corruption and complete lack of crediblity as a source of "news".

This left wing POS operative of the DNC poses as an AP writer to get the DNC lies printed. She has a long history of this bs:

Jennifer Loven, Democratic Operative

Jennifer Loven, the AP reporter who wrote the absurd "President Bush Twists Kerry's Words on Iraq" story dissected below, has a history of writing hit pieces on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. Such as this July 2003 outrage, a "news story" titled "White House can't make the questions go away". Here is how Ms. Loven begins her "news story" on the famous "sixteen words" controversy:

The White House defense of President Bush's now-disavowed claim that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa has evolved over the last two weeks: blame others, stonewall, bury questions in irrelevant information and, above all, hope it will go away.
So far, none has worked.


Now, that's not a bad beginning for a DNC press release. But for a wire service news report, it's ridiculous. Ms. Loven continues:

The flap started on July 6, when an envoy sent by the CIA to Africa last year to investigate the uranium claim contended that the Bush administration ignored his findings. In a New York Times op-ed article, Joseph Wilson, former U.S. ambassador to Gabon, said it was highly doubtful that any transaction took place.
We know now, because of the Senate Intelligence Committee report, that Joe Wilson lied about what happened in Niger. Wilson was assigned to the Niger investigation at the urging of his wife, Valerie Plame. The Committee's report says that Wilson went to Niger and was told by that country's former Prime Minister that Iraq had, indeed, tried to buy yellowcake uranium there. Note the Wilson lie that Loven repeats in her AP article: "it was highly doubtful that any transaction took place." Right. But, of course, that wasn't what Bush said in his State of the Union address. He said: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." And Wilson's report to the CIA confirmed that Saddam had "sought," but not obtained, uranium in Africa, specifically Niger.

Such nuance, needless to say, is completely beyond Ms. Loven. Her interest is in slandering Republicans, period. She continues:

That changed with Wilson's statements. Democrats in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail demanded an investigation into whether Bush purposedly exaggerated intelligence.
With its press staff unable to quell the controversy, the White House brought in Secretary of State Colin Powell, Rice, the president himself and even, later, British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

But, after two weeks, a White House usually adept at controlling stories by dismissing questions and waiting them out has had no luck.

The key questions -- asked over and over -- were not changing:

-Who knew what when -- especially the president?

-Why was it so important to include the statement in the speech?

-Who was responsible for putting it in?

-Why has the president refused to take responsibility for uttering it?

Only the White House's explanations shifted -- often contradicting itself in the process.


Ms. Loven's animus against the Bush administration helps to explain why a complete non-story, Bush's sixteen words, which, as we have argued, were almost certainly true, turned into a mini-"scandal" that ended only when Joe Wilson was exposed as a liar.

But the facts don't matter to Ms. Loven and the Associated Press. What matters, to them, is electing a Democrat as President.

AP: We Report, We Decide, II
REPORT:
The AP’s Jennifer Loven reports on the Bush administration’s attempt to defend against claims President Bush used misleading tactics to garner support for war against Iraq.

The White House defense of President Bush's now-disavowed claim that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa has evolved over the last two weeks: blame others, stonewall, bury questions in irrelevant information and, above all, hope it will go away.

So far, none has worked.

FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT:
This is yet another editorial being passed off as a news report.

For Loven to assert that “so far, none has worked,” would seemingly imply that she has evidence that none of it has worked. And, at the risk of sounding Clintonian, what exactly do you mean by “work?”

Do you mean “work” as in "providing a reasonable explanation for the series of events leading up to and after the SOTU Address?"

If that’s the case, frankly, it has “worked.”

Now, if you mean “work” as in "stopping the Democrats (and liberal AP reporters) from continuing their attack on Bush" then, I guess you’re right, it hasn’t worked. But, to that end, nothing short of Bush’s resignation or failure to be reelected will ever "work."

The AP’s Loven continues to spin her liberal story:

At issue: the credibility of the president's allegation that Saddam was rebuilding a nuclear weapons program. The assertion that Iraq was trying to buy uranium was a key component of that claim - and a key piece of Bush's justification for war.

A key piece of Bush’s justification for war? According to whom?

I seem to recall President Bush orchestrating a deliberate and lengthy pitch to sell this war to the world and this particular claim was only mentioned a couple of times. In the entire body of work, the uranium-Niger issue was miniscule, not a “key piece of justification.”

Frankly, Bush largely has himself to blame for the festering of this issue. If President Bush had simply taken the lead when this story broke and stood by his comments I think he wouldn’t be facing the criticism (by liberals in Congress and the AP) that he is today.

”The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

That comment was accurate when President Bush said it and it remains accurate to this day. There’s no reason to apologize or play word games with the press

Loven is not the only AP writer that should be writing for oped pages. And the print media wonder why they're tanking, pathetic.

[ex-snook]

President Bush should set forth how the SOTU today compares to when he took office.

Below is a reply in which yours truly documented over a year ago the long history of this vile DNC operative POS posing as a journalist. Her opeds/articles are either pushing the gay agenda or lying about our president.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1226687/posts?page=72

The writer of this article like most of the AP Rathers re GW has written a lot of pro gay articles or articles pushing the gay agenda. This seems to be a current profile of the bash GS hit writers from AP and the MSM. If they rather about GW in an appearance of really bash him, often they have written a lot of articles pushing the gay agenda.

Here is the search on Jennifer Loven, gay via Yahoo:

The truth worms its way out: the Republicans and Bush have "momentum."

I thought the GOP was collapsing and that the Dems were about to re-take the Senate.

[Ouderkirk]

He pledged to maintain "a civil tone" in disputes with those in Congress who oppose his policies, like the nation's involvement in Iraq. But Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., complained Wednesday that "he says that all the time, and then his administration, through the vice president and the secretary of defense and others, says that anyone who criticizes the war, they imply they're not patriotic."

It is because you ARE NOT PATRIOTIC you are IDIOTIC
