Assassination by news

First things first - I think Foley is a "low life"

Agreed?

Next thing - the main stream media makes accusations as they discover them. When they find out the news they printed in their headlines isn't quite true, they neglect to correct them in the headlines or most anywhere sometimes.

Example from Drudge:

SEX CHAT WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD

On Tuesday ABC news released a high-impact instant message exchange between Foley and, as ABC explained, a young man "under the age of 18."

ABC headlined the story: "New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote"

But upon reviewing the records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, the young man was in fact over the age of 18 at the time of the exchange.

A network source explains, messages with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.


Suppose ABC will print a correction?

Not holding my breath.
