I'm sure we'll see this correction on World News Tonight tomorrow, right?

This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp at a time when the teen had been 18 for just six weeks. (Some sharp online readers spotted that the boy was technically legal when the exchange took place).

"New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote"

I see they found their new Headline already.. "Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote"

[George W. Bush]

Here is the updated ABC story.

The third paragraph: "This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp at a time when the teen had been 18 for just six weeks. (Some sharp online readers spotted that the boy was technically legal when the exchange took place)."

Huh? "Technically legal"? There is legal and there is illegal. Everything else is ethics and/or sin.

Notice how they barely admit it and try to shade anyway with the most prejudiced language they can.

Personally, I hope Foley hauls them into court and teaches them something "technically legal" about deliberately slandering and libelling a public figure.

Republicans have got to stop being so passive about media attacks and sue these people off the air. It's time to stop Rather and his cronies from pulling this every election season.
