As much as I cannot stand Rep. Frank, I'm glad he wasn't charged with anything. It's a shame our retarded laws allowed his partner to be charged.

Whooptie farking do.

It's called a Spittoon

Homos and pot? If there are muslims involved it's the perfect storm of stupidity.

If all of our congressmen had gay lovers who smoked pot, pot would be legal.

FTFA: "Rep. Barney Frank admitted Friday that he was sitting on the porch of his partner's Maine home when police came to arrest his partner for marijuana possession." (emphasis added)

Networks push up stories from local affiliates to the main network site

That's what they did, and there's a link to the local Boston affiliate's story at the end of the article.

No YOU'RE a Towel: Homos and pot? If there are muslims involved it's the perfect storm of stupidity.

I think half the people at fox would cumm themselves to death.

FTF Rational People

NeverDrunk23: Fox News can be biased all they want. Whatever to that.

However, that 'Fair and Balanced' bullshiat claim is what annoys people. .

Only the Liberals.

Rickerkioz: The funniest part about your post, is your knee jerk reaction to the perceived notion that liberals would get their panties in a bunch over Fox reporting the sky was blue actually contains more truth than you know.

Willful ignorance of my point. If Fox reported something that's generally accepted as true, there's a large, well-funded cadre of professional detractors who'll complain about it.

The problem with Fox doesn't lie with them reporting when the sky is blue, but rather denying that it ever goes black at all.

Some of their commentators, yes. There's nothing that can save Hannity. But the same could be said of Olbermann and Lou Dobbs. The news reporting is amazingly straight for most things, though they do tend to focus on the sensationalist stories. I have a feeling a lot of the content editors read Fark constantly.

Add in the ad hominem attacks whenever reality doesn't fit their worldview...and that's why most liberals people, have a problem with Fox News lately.

And those attacks are contained, where, exactly in this story? Oh, that's right, it's from Fox, so why bother reading anything beyond the headline!

And, judging by the cable ratings, I think your assumptions about viewership are quite off-the-mark.

not that that has anything to do with the article mind you, but I thought I should point it out.

Because it serves your political purposes. I accept that. But it still doesn't change the fact that the headline here is completely ignorant of the reality of the situation here. If it'd been an AP article, would that have changed their story? No, probably not. Would have it changed subby's headline? Absolutely not, because, WAAH FAUX NEWS.

I spent eight years working in television and radio on the local level, but also reported in a couple of situations for national and international sources (ABC radio, BBC via phone during a situation, via print for UPI....didn't get credit for that, and I'm still PO'd about it. Thank you, mister news director).

But there's no difference between the local Fox stations and the local big three stations. What sets Fox News apart from CNN and the broadcast networks is that they use local news delivery for everything. Every week is sweeps week on Fox. The more sensational the story, the more colloquial the delivery, the more people who watch.

And, despite the "noble" intentions of "journalists," they get paid to get people to stick around long enough to hear or see commercials. Nobody does that better than Fox.

GratuityIncluded: I like how FOX kicks everyone's ass in the ratings (almost two times over) and the haters get threads on FARK with misspelled words in the headline.

Liberal MSM media.

GratuityIncluded: I've never seen a good example of FOX getting their ass handed to them.

Idunno, they seem to get schooled by facts on a fairly regular basis.

Funny but for some reason I can't find in the original article where he admitted anything on Friday. Was it in the audio bit? When was that recorded? Why slime someone 2 years later unless you are trying to push an agenda?

OMG, He knows someone who got arrested! And... he's GAY!
