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 Palins. 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. Its not even like he didnt 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.

A vast democrat party JornoList type well-funded coordiated character assassination of Sarah Palin.
I am not a big fan of hers, but this is beyond belief.

Yeah thats the ticket spin it with I regret the error. Just so, spin it. Because it was not an error, it was a deliberate lie. One of a whole series of deliberate lies.

"I told him that. And he ignored it," Loudon said. "It's not even like he didn't fact check -- he just ignored facts."
He didn't ignore that fact -- he merely LIED about it.

“The mother of that child, conservative activist Gina Loudon”
“conservative activist?”
They say that as if it discredits her.
The media will continue to lose credibility until they get over their “Conservative - bad, Liberal - good” mindset to everything.

Not an "error," not "mistaken," lying, deliberately and with intended malice.
The left will stop at nothing to destroy good people.

The MSM has been slobbering over this story. “Reports of Palin and her husband throwing cans at one another until the front of the fridge looks like a shotgun blast - What are YOUR comments....HMMMMM?” Even a few libs came out and said it was stupid, couldn’t have happened and they’ve been ignored.
It’s more of lets throw a lot of stuff at Sarah and see what sticks.
My word, they hate her.

Ecce Homo....Ergo Elk. La Fontaine knew its sister and knew her bloody well. The point is taken, the beast is moulting, the fluff gets up your nose.
Mr. Gross' literary prowess is fully as insensible as that of Monty Python's Gavin Millarrrrrrrrrr.
