Fake But Accurate OK By ABCNews

Published by at 4:28 pm under All General Discussions,Foleygate

RawStory is reporting ABCNews is now trying out the “fake but accurate” line for the Foley scandal:

Sources inside ABC News tell RAW STORY that the evidence of widespread misconduct by Foley is overwhelming and rules out the possibility that the entire scandal is based on a prank or a sting.

Note the idea the overall picture is correct, therefore the entire thing couldn’t be a sting. Is it me or is ABC News in denial about the gullibility and sloppiness. But there is more denial than just this:

“[Drudge] doesn’t say anything about the fact that there’s more than one conversation out there,” said another source.

RAW STORY has also learned that ABC plans to release additional stories that indicate that Foley’s behavior extended to other congressional pages who served on Capitol Hill during different sessions of Congress.

Nobody at ABC would specifically deny the Drudge contention about the now-infamous instant message conversation.

Nobody is denying ABC News was duped – but wait we have more information (probably from the same source). What is this – RaThergate Part Duex? I speculated on this previous post that one conclusion to draw from the Drudge news was ABCNews was just lazy and easily duped. Maybe now we should, as a nation, hear about their sources. Propaganda should not hide behind ‘sources’ when the lie is put to their claims.

    If they did there homework, their source was 21.

    Also if it was real there is no way a 21 year old world be protected in and official investigation that would follow.

    For them to leave him anonomous as a source defies logic.

    ABC said that there were 52 exchanges, does that mean between Foley and Edumud? If it does why didn’t they say from the beginning that there were a number of Pages involved, rather then talk about the exchanges. I think they only ever had one source. Any ideas out there? It seems rather odd that a man who wouldn’t talk about his gayness, would IM people randomly with sexual comments.

    MSM is never going to report ALL the facts. Why? Because they know that the facts don’t matter. The only thing that counts is HERDING THE CATTLE. More cattle, more $. More $, more cattle. After all we can’t have one world order without cattle. The elite can’t survive without their meat and milk. You certainly don’t expect them to earn their vittals do you?

    ABC News Foley Tip Page –

    Here is the tip page for all you pages!! Name address and phone # Not required!

    http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1927431

    This crap should only motivate our base. ABC News case is falling apart quicker than a cheap suit. How in the hell can anyone verify the validity of a tip if someone claims to be a victim but does not need to provide their name, address or telephone number????
