Topic: NewsBusters
Mark Finkelstein goes conspiracy-mongering in an Oct. 2 NewsBusters post:
Day One: Suspicious-but-not-explict emails.
Day Two: Explicit instant messages, but no evidence Foley met with boys.
Day Four: Instant message indicating Foley was indeed seeking to meet and possibly had already met with a boy.
Foley deserves what he's gotten and what is likely to come. But it seems increasingly plausible that the timed release of information - of ever-escalating seriousness - is part of a calculated campaign to keep the story in the news and inflict maximum political damage on the GOP.
Really, now, Mark -- is all bad news about Republicans the result of a conspiracy?
