The person who runs the Stop Sex Predators blog, which broke the Foley political scandal, writes:
I’m not interested in media interviews. Thank you for your interest, but if you were doing your job to begin with, Mark Foley would have been exposed a long time ago. Instead of wanting to do a story about this blog, how about covering the fact that the media sat on this story for over a year. You’re as bad as the Congressional Leadership that covered for Foley.
The papers that didn’t run with the story were perhaps being overly cautious, but they didn’t hold off for trivial reasons.
