WEEK 6: ASSIGNMENT: How much truth/How much spin?


Mark Foley is the Repersentative Formerly of Office of the Sixteenth Congressional District of florida. 

Scandal means a publcized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society.

Capitol hill is located in washington d. c.. often people say “Capitol Hill” to mean Congress or the government

Tnoy snow is a very nown secretary . From 1991-1992 Tony Snow was George Bush’s speechwriter and media advisor. Press secretary is a senior White House official with rank’s one step below Presidential cabinet level. Their jobs are to get important information from the media in timely and accurate fation. Snow was George W. Bush secretary and befor he became secretary he was doing a syndicated radio show for Fox.

“Naughty” means Behaving disobediently or mischievously. When people hear or think of the word naughty they think of a little anthing or somebody runing around and doing bad things. Tony Snow is not happy with what Mark Foley had sent to teenage boys. He was displeased of the situation because he tells one of the spock men “And Soledad, I have three kids. I think it’s absolutely incumbent on members of Congress, many of whom have the charge of young pages, to make sure that these kids can come and get a good experience in Washington, not have to worry about the sort of things that have been alleged here.” - Tony Snow. This issue had happend in 2005. People from the congressman assured that he was only being a mentor and nothing inaproperet had happened.

Mark Foley e-mailed teenages to see if they were ok after Hurricane Katrina “that what he stated.” One of the reason that people are really looking in to this is because in one of the e-mails or several that it states that he told the teenage boys that “they were in great shape”, and he acted ” much older that he was.” - From Foley to the teenage boy. 

After they looked at the case a litile more they foued out that Mark Foley had a seceret Instant mesages screen name. It was “Maf54″ they say that he had bin instant messageing between him self and one of the teenage boy. On of the comments that he wrote to the teenage boy was to “STRIP DOWN.” But that was not that shocking and also said to him “I LOVE TO SLIP THEM OFF OF YOU” refering to the clothing that the teenage boy had on at that moment. I think that the most shocking thing that Foley said to the teenage boy was” DO I MAKE YOU A LITTLE HORNY?”- Foley. I think for that on statment or frast that he said he shold of not bin parte of the congress bord any more.!! 

I think that Snow was trying to tell people that there are so many things that people should know about but its keeped from them. also that it is not right to know that a mae that is sopse to help us or make us feel safe still has people saying that he is a good man even after what they have hear of what he has done. http://www.alaskareport.com/wn10155.htm

I think that the it was not fair that a congress man can get away with such a thing like this but if it was someone else that was not in congress they will put them in jail instanly. I think that he was trying to get other people to think that he did not do anthing bad. Also they were trying to make people think that they were not doing anthing bad and so the congress people would not think anything bad about them. By them trying to cover up for Foley they mad them self look evny weser because they want us to think that they did not do anything bad by them saying that there are buigger issue to be wereing abut them this one. That maks people want tom look more into that issue.
