AP White House Reporter Loven Jumps to Liberal Democratic Political PR/Lobbying Shop

[Rational Thought]

Jennifer Loven, an 18-year AP veteran and the wire service's chief White House correspondent, has decided to put her communications talents to work for The Glover Park Group, a DC-based “strategic communications firm” founded in 2001 by a bunch of Clinton and Gore staffers, most prominently Joe Lockhart, who found themselves unemployed after the 2000 election. She'll be “Managing Director in its Public Affairs practice,” a Thursday press release from the Glover Park Group, plugged by Politico's Mike Allen, announced.

She's the second President in a row of the White House Correspondents' Association to leave journalism for a left-wing, or at least left-leaning, lobbying outfit. In June, Bloomberg's White House reporter, Ed Chen, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, jumped to the Natural Resources Defense Council as Federal Communications Director. (My complete Obama-journalism revolving door list.) Loven held the WHCA position for 2008-2009 and was succeeded by Chen.

Amongst the clients touted on the Glover Park Group's Web site: American Civil Liberties Union, Alliance for Climate Protection, Campaign for Women's Lives, Better World Campaign and the Center for Interfaith Action on Global Poverty. They also list some corporate clients, but no conservative activist groups.

Another "unbiased" reporter (White House correspondent) finally openly discloses she is a leftist.

No surprise (to most) as Loven has been serving the lefist agenda for years, masquerading as a reporter.

[laconic]

So instead of her wroking for the Democrats with her salary being paid for by the AP, she’ll be wroking for the Democrats who will pay her salary?

[Don Corleone]

Where is the money to run these left wing organizations coming from??? Can you say taxpayers stimulus....sort of back door and under the table?

Jennifer, we welcome you to the panel. We’ll start with you. What about this pressure from the left? Let’s start with the gay rights groups and how upset they are with what the president hasn’t done yet.

JENNIFER LOVEN, ASSOCIATED PRESS: I think their complaints are obviously legitimate. They were made a lot of promises during his campaign that he has not yet kept.

But you have to look at other side of it, too. It is his first year in office, not even yet all the way completed. He spent a good part of the first of the year on the economy, which I think a lot of us are forgetting that first couple of months where that was the issue and was his intense focus.

I will say, I think what you will hear behind the scenes from the White House is that some of this is just the price you have to pay, that governing requires sort of centrist moves, where you might tack a little to the right, a little to the left here and there. Somebody is always going to be unhappy.

Parts of the left will probably always going to be unhappy with what they see out of this White House, and I think the White House knows that and isn’t really prepared to do a lot to completely satisfy them because they can’t.

Are they saluting the Kenyan flag?

[Rational Thought]

I think the answer is Jay Carney, although I'm not certain what his position is with Biden.
