Ø So I was down in DC this past weekend and happened to run into a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that “everyone knows” The LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate. “Everyone knows” meaning everyone in the DC mainstream media political reporting world. “Sitting on it” because the paper couldn’t decide the complex ethics of whether and when to run it. The way I heard it they’d had it for a while but don’t know what to do. The person who told me )not an LAT person) knows I write and didn’t say “don’t write about this”.
If it’s true, I don’t envy the LAT. I respect their hesitation, their dilemma, deciding to run or not to run it raises a lot of difficult journalism ethics questions and they’re likely to be attacked, when it comes out—the story or their suppression of the story—whatever they do ... source by Ron Rosenbaum

 (Feb 2008) - The Larry Fox Report© by Larry Fox :
Welcome to my little corner of the Post. In the next few months, hopefully years, I'll let you in on a few things that you really need to know and quite possibly a few things you don't want to know. And if the latter is the case, then don't say I didn't warn ya ... cause I'm gonna warn ya. This is The Larry Fox Report ! (Sept 24 2008) - Stalling for Obama by Larry Fox :
Today September 24th 2008 Senator John McCain announced that He would be suspending His campaign for President. Why? I think that it is because Senator McCain knew that the Democrats in Congress are stalling on the bailout bill until after his debate with Senator Barack Obama is over. The Democrats know that as long as the economy is in trouble this will help their candidate against McCain. If they pass the bill before the debate this would make the playing field even. And that is something that they would not like. (Mar 17 2008) - Same Old Dirty Tricks by Larry Fox :
It is obvious from the Primaries so far this year that the Clintons are up to their same old dirty tricks. Do whatever and say whatever it takes to get elected. Hillary went around the other day, apologizing to African Americans for Geraldine Ferraro’s and Hillary’s husband Bill’s comments. Geraldine Ferraro is credited as saying “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," and "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." After the impact of what Ferraro had said went across all the news services Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said, "we disagree with her." Apparently that statement was not good enough to stop the criticism from the people offended by those statements.
