ABCnews was suffering from that insufferable media disease, "Cant-have-Dems-lookin-bad-itis" following the FBI raid on (Democrat) Rep. Jefferson's freezer/office.
Thus, they decided to take off the heat off the Dems by basically making up slander-ka-ka on (GOP)Rep. Dennis Hastert.
Funny how the media comes up with these bogus 'looky-see the GOP is the real villain here' stories each and every time a Democrat is indicted, arrested, charged, or otherwise shown to be the scum that they are.
If you recall, the operative phrase on ABCnews slanderous story on Hastert was "in the mix".
In other words, the ABC reporter heard some anonymous official (notice that the story didn't even say the source was current) who claimed Hastert was in the mix.
That proves it, the ABCnews editor obviously said. Let's run with the charge the Speaker is being investigated.
Unfreakin unbelievable how corrupt the shitstained mainstream media has become.
