Faux news labels Foley a Democrat

[Patters]

[DarrylS]

Apparently they did it three times during the bill O'reilly show last night, talk about bs... first he was hidden by the republican hierarchy, initially it was the booze that made him do it, then he was molested by the clergy and now Faux is affiliating him with the Dems. BUnch of bs here folks, trying to think of a clever Harryboy response, but too early to be innovative.

This might explain how Fox can do such things:

...the court declared that FCC policy against falsification that FOX violated was just a policy and not a "law, rule, or regulation", and so the whistle blower law did not apply.

FOX did not dispute that it tried to force Akre to broadcast a false story, but argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports.

It helps even out the "innocent" mistakes of the liberal media, like CNN's "accidental" X through Cheney a while ago.

You mean news channels actually distort the truth and practice biased reporting? No way! OMG, how is this possible?

I have no idea of the case in the link you provided, but one thing that stood out is that it was Fox 13, the local affiliate in Tampa, and not exactly the O'Rielly Factor or something.

I actually saw parts of the O'Reilly rerun last night, so I didn't have the occasion to see if the Foley graphic ran as shown. However half to show was about Foley and if HAstert should resign, will the pubbies lose because of him ect.

If they are trying to fool people that he is a dem they have a funny way of doing it based on the Fox news coverage. H&C had D Morris as their cheif gueest talking about Foley impact on the midterm election.

Well I hope so NEM because he felt the Foley smear would help the dems win the House. Hope he is wring as usual.

Ny point of course was that Fox was talking about the Foley issue and it's efffect on the pubbies, not pretending he was a demmie.

The incriminating docs are emails they were the IM's (Wonder who saves them?). There is a left wing gay activist blogger named Mike Rogers, he had the IM's (which date from 2003, before the 2005 email HAstert was aware of). HE calimed in March of this year he was going to get a Gay pubbie congressman, he also bragged about passing the info along to the DNCC BEFORE he gave the information to ABC news.

So the question becomes, it appears that this LWG blogger had the damning info months before it was in the press (the first time Hastert saw the damning IM's) and that he had forwarded the info to the DNCC so they would be in a position to take advantage of his dirty tricks operation.

The question them becomes. When did the DNCC become aware of the Foley IM's and why didn't they tell Hastert sooner and get Foley away from any pages sooner?

The cover up may have been by the dems to hold the info till the most politically advantageous time.

Should they have held the info and possibly endanger more pages?

patsfan13, what's your source for saying that Mike Rogers had the emails and IMDs, and couldn't find anything about it. I found his website, and this is what he posted about Foley:

http://www.blogactive.com/2005/03/i-...een-enemy.html

That said, I never until you mentioned him, heard of Mike Rogers, and did read that the ABC reporter said that to the best of his knowledge his source was a Republican.
