It's simple, actually:

A simple statement like this:
"Senator Santorum was clearly misquoted, and we would certainly hope that the Associated Press will have to decency and iontegrity to do everything possible to rectify the situation AND to take steps that such a things does not happen again."

Make the reporter's conduct the issue.

You're right.

The reporterrette is married to a Dem operative working for a Dem presidential candidate.

Whether we agree with Santorum's argument or not, this witchhunt is not justified at all. He just stated an opinion that mirrors the opinion of many legal scholars.
