John Kerry Sex Scandal: U.S. Media Blackout?
MND Newswire ^ | February 13, 2004 | Mike LaSalle

Posted on 02/13/2004 9:31:09 AM PST by new cruelty

According to news reports across the Internet and in various international publications, Democratic Presidential front-runner John Kerry may have had an extramarital affair with a 22-year old blonde intern.

As first reported by the Drudge Report on Thursday, a full-scale investigation into this is underway at Time Magazine, ABC News, the Washington Post, the Hill, and the Associated Press.

But the real story today may be the lack of coverage by the major American news media.

According to a story published today in MensNewsDaily.com, "A source at one of the major television networks (said) that they are specifically forbidden to talk about (the Kerry sex scandal) on the air until one of the other major television networks reports on it first."

A quick search on Google News at this hour shows that only two major U.S. newspapers are running stories on the emerging Kerry sex scandal: The Philadelphia Daily News and the Chicago-Sun Times.

Yesterday, MensNewsDaily.com (MND) posted a brief story on the Kerry sex scandal, but the story was never indexed by Google News. The last time Google News failed to index and MND news item was when MND published the name of Kobe Bryant's accuser.

Internationally, the Kerry sex scandal story has been covered by the UK Sun, the UK Telegraph, various Australian papers.

The New York Times today published a piece defending Kerry against Republican attacks, declaring "the beginning of what party officials said would be an attempt to undercut Mr. Kerry's reputation at a time when he is riding high from repeated victories in primaries and caucuses." The Times piece did not mention the sex scandal by name.

According to an exclusive report released overnight by political gossip guru Matt Drudge, Kerry is preparing a response to the groundswell of questions surrounding this developing story.

That's soooooome logic. By the way, Drudge got it because the Wash Post, Time and the AP are working on it.

The applicable principle in logic, or more precisely, in rhetoric, is called "the pregnant negative".

As for the Wash Post, Time and the AP working on it, one can see how hard they were working by how quickly they've added detail to the story once Drudge broke it. Notice, for instance, the immediacy with which the AP located and published an identifying photo of their employee. Again, the pregnant negative.

The media won't touch this story unless kerry is 'caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy'.

Even then the apologists would claim that it was only a New Age ritual to keep his withered (wethered?) old goat from invading his bed, and forcing itself upon him.

Two ultra-liberals host a mid-day radio show in Boston. Even they were shocked by the media blackout. I think it will be a good learning experience for them.

Following current media standards, Kerry should have to produce records that he DID NOT have an affair.

BEST POST OF THE DAY (#367):

"There's a very easy way for Kerry to prove he wasn't AWOL in his marriage. The press should demand to see all of his weekly paystubs from Teresa Heinz."

There is no doubt he f'ed her (f courtesy of Hanoi John F'in FrankenKerry). His attempts to call her and beg her to join his election campaign staff clearly indicates that she boffed him at an earlier date, Johnny Boy loved the action, and decided he need more,.........lots more.

The old man says he doesn't think they had an affair. Of course not Dad. That's why a 50 something horse face continually contacted your daughter, stalking her by phone, to join his campaign staff. Hell yes, Johnny calls all potential staffers as long as they have great legs that spread easily, and bigger t*ts than that dumb broad with the 700 Million reasons he married.

Exactly how many mush-skulled 22 year old babes become an AP reporter, and how many of those ever just happen to get sent to Kenya????????????????????? on assignment, or hiding, or setting up a call girl service, or whatever the hell she's doing there. NONE!!!!!!!!! NADADA!!!!!!!!!

Once FrankenKerry got a taste of young blond poontang he had to have her close by.

Of course, this conquest simply means that every Demoncrap Bimbo Newsette in the country is swooning with the thought that Hanoi Johnny might just rip off their costume revealing their breast and then, with his Vietnam Fatigues dropped to the ground, assault them with his tiny bayonet of love. Andrea Mitchell wants firsts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perky will take anything she can get.

Someone needs to get a reporter to ask Kerry to release all his phone records

That would surely help to clear things up. And would show that he is just as open to review as Bush has been.

We have a pool in our office on how long until it is reported on CBS, NBC, or CBS. Whoever said earlier that everyone already has heard about it because of the internet was true to a certain degree.

Everyone I talked to today has heard the story. But, for many sheeple I still believe that it's off the radar until Dan Rather reports it.

..... the Hildebeast, can arise, a tear in her eye, and accept the nomination "for the good of the party".....

I agree 100%.

The clintons are the ones that leaked the intern info. ( they still have those FBI files) Kerry was looking like the winner, they don't want a winner.
