Vanity Fair "reporter" admits error in Palin article [after getting caught lying]
AP ^ | 9/3/10 | Hollingsworth

The mother of that child, conservative activist Gina Loudon, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she told Gross during the rally that the child in the stroller was her son, not Palin’s. She said she tried to make it clear because the two children look a lot alike.

“I told him that. And he ignored it,” Loudon said. “It’s not even like he didn’t fact check – he just ignored facts.”

Gross said in a written statement sent to The Associated Press that he was mistaken.

“Trig was with his mother the next day in Wichita (Kan.), but the child in Independence was someone else, and I regret the error,” he said.

“Gross”, just another name on the “to do” list...

Fixed it.

“I am not a big fan of hers, but this is beyond belief.”

What's not to be a fan of? She has conservatives and WOMEN excited about conservative values and she is working to stop the democrats’ from ruining this country. She may have faults, but we have been given a very large gift, and her name is Sarah Palin. If you are waiting for someone better, good luck with that. From where I come from, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush (no pun intended). I will take Sarah Palin and be very grateful that we have her.

The VF hit piece is becoming infamous very quickly. Nobody is taking it’s “revelations” seriously. It says so very much more about the shortcomings of the people behind it than about Palin.

This may be difficult to understand, but as someone who is worked in media, I would have to say it’s not exactly “deliberate” — it’s worse than that — it’s that the entire way they sae the world is so distorted that they lie automatically.

The more poop they try and throw at her, the stronger she becomes. They are making her stronger by the day, and they don’t even know it.

Yep and the MSM refers to paid dem plants/shills as “concerned citizens”.

It’s good this happened. Vanity Fair and this reporter look bad for doing this. As bad as Memogate was, it killed Rather’s career and hurt CBS.

The dorky looking face reminds me of Kevin Bacon "All is Well" in Animal House but the eyes look like Tom Cruise.

I wonder if he's queer?

Cheers!
