SnC: so there IS a chance?
A chance of what?
so now its newsworthy worth getting a quote from menendez?? That's too rich!
Oh yeah a random attorney wanted to smear the name of the popular and famous Menendez?? Yeah. I think the pros ute got a little more money for that comment.
The point wasn't about Menendez. It was about the journalist not bringing it up. For him not questioning his work with his Doctor friend. With him not reporting his travel.
Do you think the journalist did his job?
Do you think Menendez wasnt unethical?
So if a pros ute states a Senator paid her for sex, she has no credibilty
If same pros ute states she was paid off to state that claim, she's legit...
I think i got it
The point is that the hooker was not a credible news source and any journalist with his salt would not run with the story without a little more digging. But why should I expect someone who goes to The Blaze and The Daily Caller as his primary news sources to require any sort of journalistic integrity?Do you think the journalist did his job?

An affidavit has legal implications for those that sign it if they're lying... a video of somebody saying something on the interwebs, not so much...
You would think the difference is obvious, but I guess not...
Is that my primary news source? I didn't know that.
"While the Post said it had an affidavit from a woman in the Dominican Republic admitting she fabricated claims Menendez paid her for sex, that woman was not one of the two pros utes TheDC interviewed for a Nov. 1 report."The Daily Caller noted that while the woman identified by the Post was said to be 23, both the women they interviewed said they were 24 at the time.
"And neither went by Nexis de los Santos Santana," the Caller wrote.

De los Santos claims she was videotaped without her consent detailing false allegations. But the Miami Herald noted the women who appear in the Daily Caller videos have their faces blurred, and appear to be wearing an earpiece and responding to questions. That would appear to conflict with the claim she was "surrep iously taped."

Her affidavit, sworn to in Dominican court, was released on Monday by attorney Vincio Castillo Seman, who is also involved in the Menendez case. Castillo, the son of a Dominican presidential adviser and the brother of a member of the country's Congress, has been accused of hosting outings on his yacht in which Menendez used the services of pros utes.

Nobody is suggesting questions should not be asked, just that a journalist does not report a story as fact with nothing more than a hooker's allegation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal..._and_standards
I don't know where you are getting that idea. asking questions being alleged on someone does not equate as stating a fact.
Ok. You go on defending and consuming your propaganda pushing news outlets that feed your already off the chart confirmation bias.
why not discuss the topic. Why revert to attack? Little childish tbh. Am I under your intelligent threshold?
What's to discuss? I have already mentioned upstream that there are legitimate well sourced ethics questions regarding Melendez and relationship with his donor. I linked the WaPo article delving into these issues in post 72 in this thread. I just don't believe the DC hooker allegations are well sourced and stand the test of good journalistic standards.
Then what is your post for?
This thread was originally questioning why ABC did not ask Manendez about the hooker investigation. I don't think there was sufficient evidence to ask about the allegation because the hooker story was not well sourced.
I don't know why you are still defending the DC.
FBI agents recently traveled to the Dominican Republic to investigate the pros ution claims, but said they found no evidence to support it.

Looks like ABC and every other legitimate news organization that did not run with the poorly sourced story was right in not doing so.
Again, feel free to continue to consume poorly sourced news in an effort to feed your confirmation bias.
How am I defending the DC?
whotts funny is the dailycaller still trying to push the story even after sworn affidavits entered the investigation
and the guy that made the allegation still won't contact the FBI
why ask any questions? it's the same as wondering why journalists didn't ask Barry if he was a kenyan muslim...
Menendez is a and probably politically dirty as , but there's much more credible ways to bring him down than some internet memes
Police: Women paid to make sex claims against Sen. Menendez
Police in the Dominican Republic said Monday that three women who claimed they had sex with Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) were actually paid by a third party to make false claims, according to The Associated Press.
Two of the women were paid $425 each, while a third was paid $300, police reportedly said. Police spokesperson Maximo Baez added that the payments were traced back to an attorney, Melanio Figueroa.
The allegations initially appeared to align with earlier claims passed to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) by someone claiming to be named “Peter Williams.”
Williams reportedly said that Menendez visited a pros ute in the Dominican Republic, but a subsequent FBI investigation turned up no evidence.
