I recently read an article published in the "am New York" that discussed President Bush calling Foley's "acts disgusting" that I found really interesting. The coverage of this scandal is being approached from the angle that no one really new that these types of activities were going on with Foley and congressional pages. The media is almost portraying the account like its something that representatives in the House were not fully aware of, when in fact, I'm sure the topic was one that had been whispered and gossiped about for quite some time now. According to the article, Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, said he first learned of the approaches in late September. However, in another article I read in "The Daily News," they published that another congressional page had come out about Foley before the recent online scandal. So, have they known about Foley with pages before now? How do you feel about the media portraying the members of the House like they were completely out of the know regarding Foley's sexuality? Do you guys think thats accurate?
