MEDIA SUING TO OPEN KERRY'S SEALED DIVORCE PAPERS
AM 570 WMCA - NY ^ | 6.30.2004

Posted on 06/29/2004 8:31:10 AM PDT by KMC1

NEW YORK - Tomorrow night Dan Proft, President of Leader Media, and former advisor to former Senate Candidate Jack Ryan will appear on O'Reilly factor to discuss the push from the media to delve into sealed divorce records. Proft is among those now suing for access to John Kerry's sealed records. ABC News and Fox are both pursuing the developing story - that appears now to be destined to open the private files of the Democratic candidate for President.

Its about time.

I find it wrong to open sealed records, but if it was done to one candidate, than it must be done to another. Why is it of public concern for a congressional candidate, yet not for a presidental candidate?

It is stooping to the dims level, but sometimes you must.

Only Republican divorce cases or DWI cases may be opened to the media. It's like Teresa's tax return. Not to be made public.

"This is really none of my business and I see no reason for the state to be opening records of private citizens against their wishes. Even idiot private citizens."

I believe, should you check, parts, or all, of divorce records are public information.

At least those parts of a divorce that are litigated before a judge.

You may not wish to be aware of the information, as it may, or may not, relate to a candidate for public office, but I dare say there are others that do.

I think they should have let the media do it without prodding from any political figures.

And you managed to keep a straight face delivering the punch line...My hat is off to you, FRiend.

Divorce proceedings are public record. That's why permission from the judge is needed to have them sealed. Politics, hidden under the guise of the media's plea of "public has a right to know", stinks. But none on the RAT side squawked when it was happening to Jack Ryan.

Like the Office of Independent Council law, the RATS never squawked about it, until it was used against x42i.

But Kerry is not a private citizen. He's a public servant and could be one who governs us all.

Dan Proft, President of Leader Media, and former advisor to former Senate Candidate Jack Ryan

The headline is false. It's isn't 'The Media' suing for opening Kerry's records, it's Jack Ryan's former advisor suing. So Ryan got caught with his pants down so he is going after someone else's divorce records. I seriously doubt that Kerry was taking his first wife to sex clubs and trying to get her to have sex in front of strangers.

This move is almost psychotic and makes Ryan and/or his advisor look like petty fools.

I agree Divorce proceedings are public records - it's done all the time with celebrities but I don't see any need to do this. What is it going to accomplish? The American people get turned off by this kind of stuff during an election year.

That's what they want you to think...

Thanks for the insinuation that I think what they want me to think.

It is wrong based on principle. There's a bad word you can have fun with at my expense.

Please; praise the pragmatism of socialism, and ridicule the principles of decency.

Theres no guarentee that they will even find anything of substance. I think there is more traction to be gained if the request is denied. If it is made public that Ryans files were opened and JF'nK's were denied, it will make people distrust the liberal judges/media even more - and hopefully add to the distain of Ketchup boy.

How would you like to be their kid when he looks at his friend's locker at school and sees that pic of his mom there.....And they are worried about court records bothering him. These parents need to be replaced.

If Ryan's records were their business, this is our business. Fire with fire. Dirty bastards ruin Ryan and now they want to get sanctimonious.

Once again I see the conservatives amongst us getting all noble and wishy-washy. This is NOT the way to go.

The Dems are waging an all-out war and we're gonna sit around and wallow in our nobility?

Or maybe the Repubs will get so fed up they'll start cursing in the senate and such?

The ONLY way to stop their dirty wars is to, as the poster says above, fight fire with fire. When they realize two can play their games, maybe everyone will back off.

I am a former Democrat and knew how to rig a voting machine when I was 8 years old. LEARN!

Exactly what I was thinking.
