I don't see where your article shows it was common knowledge. The article's pic has Wasserman and crew missing if you note. A news agency is the one who called foul, and rightfully so. A simple explanation AND apology would have been great.
Instead, excuses. The point of this thread, besides watching the left continue with excuses here...
An "explanation" was given as the pictures were being taken.
What should they "apologize" for?
Your article says no such thing.
I fixed the quote tags. Sorry about that, didn't catch it in time.
The blog post I linked to was the source of the story. That's where the outrage farmers got the story from in the first place.
Do you not see how illogical it is to claim that Pelosi tried to "cover it up" when the source of the story, a reporter, was told about it.
How can they be "covering up" something that they told to a reporter?
