Jon, I emailed Sue Wilson, AP’s Raleigh bureau chief, the following:
Jon Sanders of the John Locke Foundation blogged today on the lack of party identification in the Phipps story. Here?s the link to his blog post:

This is one of the biggest complaints media critics on the conservative side have about the mainstream media: that they air brush Democrat from corruption stories and play it up when Republicans are involved. I was wondering what AP?s policy is in this case.
Here is her response:
It was a mistake. We should have included it. It will be added to today’s stories and those run in the future.
