The young woman at the centre of the sex scandal allegations against presidential hopeful John Kerry has recorded a tell-all interview for an American TV station.

Reporter Alexandra Polier is said to have given the interview with a major US network before Christmas - but the channel has held back from showing it until it can verify that her claims are true.

It was reported last week that the TV news division of ABC was investigating the 27-year-old's alleged relationship with Senator Kerry, who is said to have pestered her to join his campaign team.

The channel has refused to say if it is working on the story.

Hey, I have it on the best authority that FNC only investigates FACTS. Guess they're waiting for someone to give them some.

I think I recall Drudge mentioning ABC during his show last night.

Maybe the Networks want a damaged dem front runner.

Woman denies affair

Making copies. This may "disappear." Thank you for posting it.

ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/MSNBC/FNC/BBC.... What's the difference?

Yep. It's really not a free country when the media is this negatively influential on the voters. Not free at all. It might be different if the people weren't so ignorant, but they are.

She won't exactly roll over and play along, like the good wifey.

Right, that's what I'm thinking. She'll hurt him in ways that he might not even know.

Bizarre. Why would she flat out deny an affair if she knew there was an interview on film of her saying there was? Something's not right here.

What video tape? Have you seen any video tape? I seriously doubt the Mickey Mouse network will admit to one or release one if one exists.

My dear friend, I appreciate your pings and I relate to your passion, but please, please mind your language when we ladies are around. Thanks.

O.K.

I thought that was mild, but I'll be milder. ;)

I see where you're going. But if they want to "protect" Kerry ... why tape a salacious interview with her in the first place?

Thank you, sir. You are indeed a scholar and a gentleman.

I've seen this quote here, and my question is nastier than WHAT? I've seen it reported that he asked her to work for his campaign, and that maybe (after all, it was The Sun) her dad said he thought maybe Kerry was "after" her. I haven't seen any other alleged "facts" of the situation - just that there is an "intern issue" etc. Of course, these rumors imply infidelity. But for it to be "nastier than reported," it would seem that something would need to be "reported" in the first place. Not even Drudge has done that.
