Fox News Buried Story Of Foley emails

If the NYT suppressed such a story, they would be in the wrong, unless they fully investigated the story and found that nothing wrong was done.

Fox was wrong to bury this story, and I say that because I am reasonably confident that Fox news does little investigative journalism which would reveal something negative about repubs.

Quote from drmarkan:

This has nothing to do with the point I am raising. I'll try to explain.

Let's say that it was Hillary, and the New York Times "suppressed" the story. The Wall Street Journal comes out and says they did along with "other" news agencies. Then they make a point of how the liberals are trying to cover it up.

Later, we discover that the "other" news agency is Fox News. You want to tell me that the Wall Street Journal wouldn't look like it had an agenda at that point.

If the point I am trying to make is still too confusing, let me know.

Had the press not done its job, Foley would still very likely be engaging underage youth in on line sex.

Yes, it is too bad that the child has to suffer a double damage, from the acts of Foley, and then from the embarrassment of the revelations.

However, it is better that the child suffers, than Foley and/or others continue such behavior. The child's parents can instigate lawsuits against parties they feel injured their child.

Clearly the repubs in the house did very little to deal with the problem internally.

By the way, did you feel strongly in favor or not publicizing the Monica Lewinsky story because of the potential psychological damage to both Hillary and Chelsea (victims of Bill's indiscretion), as well as Monica and all family members affected?

ROTFLMAO....

Quote from Pabst:

LMFAO. The Left is all outraged that Foley compromised a teenager but they have no qualms about publishing the teenagers e-mail exchange with Foley, even after the teens parents implored that the e-mails remain private. This poor kid has now suffered a million times the damage from his public "outing" compared to the damage caused by Foley's unsolicited advances. But it's all about the children. Yeah, right.

Yes, I felt strongly that Lewinsky should not have been named publicly. Clearly there were some, including Newsweek who had the chance to break the story and declined, who felt the same way. Of course the irony of this debate is the salient fact that Linda Tripp almost wound up in jail on eavesdropping charges.

That really is unbelievable.
Let them even try to say that was an oversight.

Partisan bastards.

The
"left-wing-liberal media" [un-quote] would not even consider stooping that low.

All partisan bullshit sucks.

Hey, by labeling Foley as a Democrat, hapaboy and his right wing friends might stop defending the pedophile.

You stating that I am defending a pedophile despite all my posts to the contrary are indicative of your infantile mind.

You must grade your unfortunate students on the basis of whether or not they carry one of Chomsky's or Zinn's books into class or not.

"Professor" indeed...
 
I watch Fox news here in Australia (I don't get the Comedy Channel unfortunately) and I have seen Foley labelled as a Democrat EVERY TIME he is shown on TV!
I smell a law suit....

The problem is that we do not have the full details. This still skirts the issue that I brought up. Two wrongs don't make a right do they? This discussion is quickly becoming futile.

If you want to address the point I'm making feel free. If not, then there really is nothing else for me to discuss.
