Question:will the Three Monkeys Media stop at Foley or expose the coverup?

My cynical side tells me they'll do their usual CYA job, but then again, we are talking about paedophilic behaviour

2. They'll investigate, because they'll want to know the
juicy bits, but then they won't release the report.

3. Unless proof of exactly which House Republicans knew what...

...is handed to the corporate media on a silver platter, I don't expect them to say much about it.

There doesn't seem to much they could say about it based on what I've seen published so far.

4. Democrats need to make this a campaign issue: If they protect pedophiles
they don't deserve to hold the House. But in answer to the OP: the media circus will stop with the lone perv, not the culture of enabling abuse, unless the bloggers fire it up about this.

6. Ive seen nothing on Foley or Allens racist comments
If it were a Dem doing such things it'd be plastered all over the news 24/7. I havent seen one story of Allens comments. Telling.

7. Tweety has been going berserk over Allen.
It's surreal. It's like he is a rebuked lover or something. He just can't let it go; been on it heavily for at least several days (I can only stand small doses).

I keep asking myself, 'what's up with that?'

8. I stand corrected but
other than Tweety and a passing comment here and there, not much considering Allen was a frontrunner for the GOP White House a few weeks ago..

11. "Was" a front-runner.

It's only because of the "media" that he's not!!

10. yes, he has been totally obsessed with this story
all week. It has been very strange. I think he has really lost his marbles. Maybe Keith has something to do with it. Maybe Abrams is really trying to provide competiton to FAUX and Tweety just doesn't know how to adjust his approach.

12. Interesting insight.
Tweety can't make the adjustment from Torture Party talking points. Good one. :thumbsup:

9. "Three Monkeys Media"
I luv that!!!!

Where did that come from? The trifecta of ABC, CBS, NBC? Or perhaps CNN, MSNBC, FAUX?

It DOES seem these monkeys DO appear in threes!!!

People are just starting to get whisps of this news drop. It hit a major network already that broke it. This will start like a grass fire and spread. It's a topic that gets no wiggle room.

It will trickle out in dribs and drabs. They have big big big problems here. It's not just sexual perversion with minors:

1. They didn't inform the Democrat on the committee that looked into it. He can come forward.

2. They knew for almost a year and covered it up.

3. The pukes are publicly preaching the very antithisis of everything the gays stand for. This puts them smack in the lions den with their base.

4. This guy was on the very committee advocating against internet whoopie. And a deputy whip besides.

5. Foley didn't even try to keep his seat. He knew it was tornado time. This is a flat admission.

6. The page will be sought for interviews and will welcome the chance to tell his story. He was repulsed.

7. The other pages that have kept quiet until now will likely feel unashamed to come forward also now, and exact justice.

8. Hastert is dancing on the head of a pin. And he can't hide in congress. Everywhere he goes, he's going to have mikes in his face.


Have a little popcorn and watch this one carry the news for days. It's gonna be great. And it's been awhile. :popcorn:

16. Im thinking that the media
Will say how disgusting the democrats are, and they are just making this an issue, because a election is coming up, they will also blame the democrats for hurting this boy and using him just to make the repubicans look bad.

They will spin and twist.
