I was freeping here the other day and someone posted that ABC news was soliciting for more Foley emails.

I went to the link and sure enough they where, so I sent them.....

Hi, I was an intern and I had sex many times with a high ranking Government official, we used sex toys, we had phone sex many times, please contact me for details.

This is the responce.....

I'm the Senior Investigative Producer of the Brian Ross and your message was sent to me. I would be very interested in speaking with you.

Please feel free to call me - either in my NY office 212-456-6450 or on my cell phone 301-529-5434 at any time.

Thank you for contacting us and I look forward to speaking with you,

"And exposes the media for what they are. You sound exactly like you might be one of 'em."


Nope, not me. I used to write for magazines, but there's not a lot of controversy in giving folks information about how to use their computers or build a bookshelf.

Do you find it surprising that a news organization would ask for more information when someone shows up claiming to have information about the sexual misconduct of an elected official. Of course they'll ask for more.

Should they have known he was referencing Monica? Not really. Affairs between interns and elected officials are not all that uncommon, so it could have been any of several elected officials, and sex is pretty much sex.

As for exposing the media, well, isn't it already pretty exposed already? Even if it were not, a prank like this is just that, and useless as a tool to expose the media. Nobody but Freepers are going to be interested in this prank.

So, yes, it's a useless prank. Amusing, but useless.



NO mindbender I did not bring down the liberal hordes with this but just maybe they are starting to think over there that they have gone to far, I doubt it but at least I did something, I tried to kill off the liberal mindset, that’s more than others did, to quote a famous liberal fool

Monica Lewinski --------------------------------------

ROTFLMAO Great one - we should all send in stuff on the dems - but I figure that's not news!

Nope, it's only "news" if it hurts a Republican.

Remember when Larry Flynt - the dem porn king- - - offered a million dollars for dirt on a members of congress? So many phones lit up that he had to come back on and explain the offer was only for dirt on Republicans .

Guess ABC is right down there or down on, or down with the porn king. Yeah, whatever. We're charmed.

"Do you find it surprising that a news organization would ask for more information when someone shows up claiming to have information about the sexual misconduct of an elected official."

Yes, in fact, I do. Because when they get more information, they lie through their teeth anyway. We all know they spiked the Lewinsky story, and weren't interested in it. But if they think they can snare a Republican in the very same actions, different response.

I guess the humor must depend on whose ox is being gored.

Beeeeuuutiful. She may have slammed her mouse down and swore under her breath, but I assure you before Exec. Producer Schwartz closed her eyes that night, she had to know you were right and they SHE had proven you were right.

That is awesome.

Jerry Springer has more journalistic integrity than the network news organizations. Okay, maybe not, but they should still be ashamed of themselves.

By the way, Foley totally propositioned me a bunch of times, though I seem to have misplaced the IMs. Sure I'm a girl, but he said a baseball cap and sock would take care of that problem. He said "Hey, let's go to Ben and Jerry's for some Chunky Monkey ice cream!" and I was all "No way, old man, Cherry Garcia is WAY better," and then he was all "Fine! Be that way!" and got all pissy and signed off. I've kept this classified information to myself for seventeen years, but now I must let Rhonda know ASAP. I need to get this emotional trauma off my chest before my literary agent calls me back. Thanks, ABC, for providing this important public service!

Leave it to the MSM to make a real and disturbing scandal ludicrous as always.

Yes, useless. You accomplished nothing but to amuse yourself and some Freepers. As I said, it's a fairly clever prank, but won't really change anything at all. ABC will continue to do what ABC does.

Do tell, Maja MineralMan, what should this young person have done that would satisfy you in this matter. Personally, I found it funny as hell.

Childish? I think the email made an excellent point. It may not be your method, but it wasn't your email. To each his own.

Bravo! Definately in the spirit of Freeping back in the day.

The whiners just haven't had their meds adjusted today.

Why would you assume this is an auto-reply? I can't see an executive producer putting their cell-phone number as an auto-reply for exactly this reason.

I proffered an "individually directed auto reply", by that I mean that a responsible individual read and replied to the e-mail. The wording of the reply was a standard (think form letter) menu selectable reply that would allow ABC to deny fishing (picture "I'm so glad you responded to my request for sexually explicit details regarding Representative Foley" in the reply and I think you will see what I mean).

There is no doubt that the e-mail was sent by an ABC dirt digger in authority, (probably Rhonda herself) but it was a form response for PR cover if the source goes bad (like Cody).

Rather childish on your part.

Maybe, but still funny.

"Their work product was inevitably the number one or two lead in the magazine's feature column each month for several years."

What? Those letters weren't real?
