But of course Mark Foley making dirty talk with an 18 year, that was worthy of 3 weeks worth of coverage...
No media bias here! What a bunch of Jackasses, literally!
Like they buried Harry Reid land deals and "Dollar bill" Jefferson.. neither of them have gone to rehab and are still in Washington.
I don't think the question of what Kerry said is central in the minds of most voters. I thought it was being promoted for partisan purposes. So we put the story on the inside page.
May I translate elitist liberal speak to straight forward english?
I will do all I can to make sure the question of what Kerry said does not enter the minds of most voters. I hope to conceal it for partisan purposes. So we put the story on the inside page.
UNBELIEVABLE!
The ONE GREAT thing to come out of the election is there is no more need for AIR AMERICA!!!
Yes, sad that cowards cannot tell their own story anymore and be believed.
Mr. Harris, the Freaks didn`t bury the story, Carry is toast and your circulation is still dropping.
I think the ed was saying that like W's DUI, this wasn't a real story and not worthy of the attention it was receiving.
When the White House started commenting on it, it was noteworthy.
I agree.
(I also agree Kerry is an idiot)
There wasn't any room left in the Post's Macaca Section.
Looks like we're going to have to start up a comprehensive Democrat "news reporter" list in the run-up to 2008.
Wonder if John Harris and his buds are high-fiving it over at the Post because they got Webb elected by sucker-punching Allen?
hey John....... Kerry is now dead. Get over it.
I like it how the media echoes that it was GOP corruption that led to their candidates winning even though the "corrupt" Tom DeLay and "morally bankrupt" Foley were NOT EVEN IN OFFICE.
As to whether Hassert "knew", it is clear that the DNC knew more first AND DID NOTHING until the eve of the election. So if the Democrats in the media are going to try to throw mud on the GOP they'd better check their own clothes.
The W DUI story cost Bush votes, that much is clear. What is not so widely discussed is that Gore's boasted "popular vote victory" was only by 0.51%. Think that many voters were digusted at the late breaking news story to not vote W?
The media SAID he was talking dirty to someone "possibly as young as 16" since that is the minimum age for the Page program.
The media engaged in the the ugliest sort of yellow journalism in calling Foley a child molester. They LIED and didn't care to follow up on who held the documents and how long they'd held them.
The media CANNOT be trusted to report FACTS. They LIE by phony documents and by omission. Goebbels would be proud.
Can anyone please tell me why one cent of Taxpayer funds goes to NPR?

And of course there was no mention of Democrats having actually left a TRUE molestor in office in the form of Gerry Studds who actually had sex with a minor.
But let me add to the utter frustration how this co-opted media is almost entirely the reason Dems. are where they are now: So many have observed this election was about clean house in Capital Hill, including even some conservative commentators. But Democrats caught up in scandal like Jefferson, Mollohan, Menedez and even Harry Reid were all either re-elected soundly or elevated to Senate Majority leader (who took more Abramoff money and gave more quid pro quo in return than most any Republican you can name.) The reason? The media all but ignored their scandals, (including the fact that Mollohan had to be removed from the co-chair position of the House Ethics Committee by the Dems. for rewarding campaign contributors with pork projects,) in some cases scandal more substantial than anything Republicans other than Duke Cunningham were caught up in.
Indeed, think of the sick irony of the New Jersey Senate seat where Jersites sent the absolutely corrupt Menedez back to the Senate with his storied past of corruption despite being under criminal investigation and yet turned out the squeaky clean Mike Dewine in Ohio to pay for the sins of Ohio's Republican governor guilty of 4 misdemeanors including the petty failure to report sports tickets given him. Yet Menedez who has a long history of greased palms and political machinery manipulation was rewards with re-election.
So if Americans were turning out Republicans over corruption, then they did so with an amazing double-standard and not just a bit of hypocrisy. It's unfair really when you consider Republicans largely dispatched with their sleazeoids while Democrats just hid theirs in a backroom until after the elections, expecting and exacting zero accountability from them.
But one has to credit the media with that for ignoring Democratic corruption while hyping even mere allegations or the appearance of wrong with Republicans such as a raid on Curt Weldon's daughters home that in no way suggests guilt. Yet Weldon lost. Jefferson, Mollohan, Menedez, and Reid on the other hand had a good night last night.
The media may call that America showing righteous indignation. That such indignation was applied solely to Republicans I call absolute dysfunction and ignorance by an electorate increasingly brainwashed by the Clown Car Media.
