1. Sorry, can't do it
I am not giving ABC news any legitimacy at all until they can prove that they are truly neutral. ABC netwok certainly isn't and by extension, neither is their news department.

25. with an EXCLUSIVE interview
Mark Foley tells all! No-holds barred and explicit!

Prominent Republicans about to be EXPOSED! Scandals right and right (not gonna say left and right)!

Immediate resignations are to be expected after the live interviews from multiple Republicans!

3. LOL
There's a post in GD Politics, where it is revealed that Foley asked one guy to "measure his dick".

Damn!!

I thought "I" was the only one who made such requests!! :rofl:

4. Dunno what you're bitching about - it's the best front page....
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 05:44 PM by BlooInBloo
... I seen in a long time...

Auto-cycle of main-frame pics:

1) FBI opens Foley investigation
2) GOP coverup of Foley sexual predating
3) 9/11 hijackers laughing

That's as excellent a 3000 word summary of the nation being run by the GOP as I could come up with.

But you can keep bitching about it if you like - I think it's on target.

16. The Author Should Have Little To Do With Your Response.
No matter who the author was you simply responded inappropriately and assumptively. Who the author was doesn't change the context of their message, which is what we are to reply to, nor does it change the context of yours.

36. If I worked for ABC news..
I would point out that I pissed off the left and now I'm pissing off the right. I have no idea if they are seriously interested in professional journalism, but, if anyone there is, they are probably happy the left and right each think ABC is a tool of the opposite end of the political spectrum.

11. I'll post the text for you:
The FBI has opened a "preliminary investigation" of disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley over the sexually explicit Internet messages he sent to congressional pages, all male high school students under the age of 18.

Agents in the FBI's Cyber Division have already begun to examine the texts of some of the messages, according to a FBI spokesperson.

Officials say the FBI and Department of Justice lawyers are trying to determine how many such e-mails were sent, how many different computers were used and whether any of the teenage victims will cooperate in the investigation.

It's possible Foley could be prosecuted under laws he helped to enact, as the co-chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.

Two sets of sexually explicit instant messages obtained by ABC News were sent to pages beginning in 2002.

19. "came to a head"?
You have got to be kidding me! :eyes:

Looks like they're either not taking it seriously, or having a little fun at Foley's expense.

22. Here's how.
Push "Print Screen".

Then open photoshop. Open a new file. Once you have it named, hit Ctrl-V, or paste. Then flatten layer. Save file.

Ta Da!

28. Of course they're going to run this piece of sensationalism.
I don't think that means they give a shit about the truth.

35. ABC News Division showing that P2911 was not their f*ckup -
but rather the ENTERTAINMENT division?

Ideally (and historically) the two were completely separate. Lately, News has BECOME entertainment. Could be that the suits in News are trying to assert their independence.
