ABC Gives Sen. Menendez Six Minute Interview With No Questions About FBI's Hooker Investigation
News Busters ^ | Noel Sheppard

On Friday it was revealed that the FBI is investigating Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) for allegedly sleeping with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.

Despite this, when Menendez was given a six-minute interview with Martha Raddatz on ABC's This Week Sunday, he was not asked one question about the investigation or the allegations (commentary follows with full transcript at end of post):

Raddatz began the interview asking Menendez about what Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had previously said on the program concerning immigration. She followed this up by asking Menendez what he wanted to hear from the President about this issue.

Next, Raddatz asked Menendez about the controversy surrounding the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year - in particular, how he felt Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did during her testimony before Congress last week.

The next subject Raddatz chose was whether Menendez felt Chuck Hagel would be confirmed as Obama's Secretary of Defense.

Raddatz concluded the interview by asking Menendez about the looming senatorial race in New Jersey between incumbent Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) and Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D).

With a total of six minutes of air time, Raddatz didn't ask one single question about the FBI's investigation of Menendez.

Can you imagine her ignoring such an issue if she were interviewing a Republican?

Menendez handlers to ABC, “there will be no questions about any investigations in regards to the Senator”

ABC news, “of course not, we have no clue what you are talking about anyway. All that matters is the Senators take on those evil gun toting, evil God worshiping Republicans”

Presstitutes don’t ask about prostitutes. Professional courtesy.

ABC News is a complete waste of time.

It was recently reported last year that during press conferences of the five major networks the president took questions from ABC reporters 40% of the time. Helps explain why Americans know virtually nothing about the various scandals his administration is involved in.

Journalistic malpractice.

Raddatz is the old bag who invited Obama to her wedding and “moderated” a debate.

Imagine, just imagine if it were a Republican Senator who say, wore a jacket with a logo on it, or some minor thing such as Sarah Palin was accused of.

That bi#ch Martha Raddatz would have hounded her incessantly.

This media bias sh!t is coming to a breaking point.

This bs that in one year Americans went from wanting deportation to favoring citizenship, is pure bull crap.

Let’s see an honest poll that asks do you want citizenship or deportation for illegals.

???

Why would a Democrat newsroom ask a Democrat about his foreign flings with underage prostitutes?

It ceased being mere bias quite some time ago...their coverage is now no different than if it was directly produced by the DNC or the White House itself.

I never watch the Sunday shows anymore...they are nothing but propaganda for this administration.

Lies, lies, and more lies.

It’s like they purposely try and find the worst people out of both parties to put on. They never have anyone interesting on, just the same lackey’s over and over telling us how to think. Screw them all!
