Why is the focus on the media and the Dems?
The Reps, or some of them, were caught shielding a bugger and instead of doing the correct thing and owning up to it; apologizing for being selfish Party-first opportunists, and cleaning up their own House, many would rather hide behind a front of sanctimonious indignation.

The Dems don't need to wield any tools from their bag of dirty tricks, you Republicans are quite adept at screwing yourselves.

I agree the Republicans can be sleezy and disgusting too and Foley is a sleezebag who needs more than rehab - he could use jail time. But the media knew of this story a while back. Coinky Dink that this comes out as close to the election as possible? I THINK NOT. Especially with ABC.

Had they done any house cleaning then they would have been bashed as homophobes. Why couldn't they have politely invited him to leave 'for personal reasons'?
