But but but ABC News said it was true! The media doesn't lie and is never biased!

That doesn't sound like an official denial, more like a leak. Who knows what the truth is, but of course they'd want the media off of it.

I can sleep well tonight.

We need to absolutely make phone calls and freep the heck out of ABC tomorrow.

Freepers need to return to activism.

""The damn media needs to be under investigation!""

Maybe they are reporting what some Justice Administration officials actually told them.

A reaction to Hastert's declaiming of the Jefferson matter.

If what Haster and Pelosi agree upon is true, how did a judge sign off on it? Maybe the judge will be mad too if he was misled.

Feeble attempt to get the focus off of William Jefferson?

Exactly.

Someone should tell Drudge, because he is still headlining it.

I can't believe the reaction of the majority of freepers on this one. Then again I guess I can.

Hello,

Yes they did. Regardless of our reaction to the Speaker's stance on the Jefferson (D, LA) issue, I was quite surprised that many here fell for a story from the Old Media hook, line and sinker, within minutes.

Glad to be here, MOgirl PS: Let's see facts, then we will talk...

His demands for the return of evidence seized in the Jefferson raid prompted my "note" to him.

NO amnesty for illegals OR Congressmen.

Hasturd is a liar. Also very stupid. The FBI search was unconstitutional? He should resign.

Folks cannot forget that Hastert bears some of the responsibility for this himself. If he had simply stayed in his normal stupor and defended Jefferson in the same way he defended Tom DeLay, the press would have never run this story. When they found out he was actually alive they just had to print something.

I haven't followed too much of the Jefferson matter, but it seems to me that nobody was up in arms back in 79 (or possibly 80, I can't remember which year) when all of the Congressmen were busted in Abscam.

Even if they were told this by someone at the DOJ, they have an ethical obligation to try to verify the truth of it.

"Drive by" is right.

Like teenagers throwing rocks at mailboxes.
