brian ross and abc news
Brian Ross of ABC News was in possession of the Mark Foley sex IM's and he was 'too busy with Katrina,' to report on them?
SO, since he was BUSY reporting on Katrina, he saved the Foley IM's until five weeks before an election? Apparently the IM's must not have been that important back then?
It turns out that the St. Petersburg Times, the Miami Herald and Fox News all had the Foley IM's and deemed them unimportant, too.
"Our decision at the time was ... that because the language was not sexually explicit and was subject to interpretation, from innocuous to 'sick,' as the page characterized it, to be cautious," said Tom Fiedler, executive editor of the Herald. "Given the potentially devastating impact that a false suggestion of pedophilia could have on anyone, not to mention a congressman known to be gay, and lacking any corroborating information, we chose not to do a story."
Like I said yesterday, what about the children?
