"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

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.
