AP copy: Dean has said Republicans never made an
honest living in their lives.

Actual Dean quote: "Republicans, I guess, can do that
because a lot of them have never made an honest living
in their lives."

This is what I wrote:

I found this article to be biased and inaccurate. Anybody who was actually at Governor Dean's speech would know that Dean was talking about the GOP leadership, not the rank and file Republican voters. Furthermore, John Edwards just said he didn't agree with Dean. This is not a criticism. As for Senator Biden, he does not speak for Democrats. Most of us agree with Howard Dean that the only person that e;ecton reform would not profit is top GOP officials and their ultra rich donors.

4. Today's chuckle:

I hastily read the typo in your last sentence as "Most of us agree with Howard Dean that the only person that ERECTION reform would not profit is TOP GOP OFFICIALS..."
Let's hear it for the impotence of top GOP officials!

2. Way to go.

wtmusic pointed this out in a LBN thread, it is terrible reporting by the "liberal media".

3. Great minds think alike!

If we can head this off early, we may be able to prevent another case of public misinformation by GOP psy-ops

5. I have written them also

Be sure to include that Dean clarified his statement to be about Republican Leadership.

Subject: inaccurate reporting
To: [e-mail]

Don't you think that the American people deserve
accuracy in the news? Shouldn't the press be
protecting us from govt. propaganda? This isn't the
first time this has happened. Ethically and morally
you have a standard to uphold. Please do your jobs
accurately and professionally. A retraction is in
order.
