America - Forgetting Foley?

It has now been several weeks since Newspaper Guild President Linda Foley, claimed US troops target journalists. A claim she now admits she has no evidence with which to substantiate it. A similar unsubstantiated claim forced CNN's Eason Jordan to resign.

The media were silent on Jordan till the bloggers kept up the pressure and they were forced to report on his resignation.

The media, true to form, are remaining silent on Foleygate. Unless I'm missing something, the blogshpere seems a little quiet too. With the exception ofMedia Slander, a blog dedicated to keeping the pressure on Foley to apologize or resign, bloggers seem a bit quiet. Maybe their content to let Media Slander handle it. I think that's a mistake. We all need to keep up the pressure on Foley, The Guild and the media - US troops lives depend on it.

Media Slander posts a copy of an email they sent to Mike Bucsko, President of Pittsburgh Local 38061 of the Newspaper Guild, asking him what he and his union plan to do about Foley's bogus claims. No reply as yet.

This is the kind of thing we should all be doing.
