FLYNT CHOSE NOT TO EXPOSE SAM DONALDSON

November 27, 2007

In response to a story by online news source Big Head DC that a phone number belonging to ABC newsman Sam Donaldson appears in the phone records of former D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, Larry Flynt confirms that his researchers discovered the number months ago but chose not to reveal it.

"We did not release the information because Donaldson did not meet our criteria for being a hypocrite," Flynt said. "Donaldson is not a politician and does not make the kind of daily decisions that affect our lives."

After researchers at HUSTLER headquarters found the number in July 2007, they informed D.C. investigator Dan Moldea, who confirmed the information with Palfrey.

HUSTLER researchers have also found other numbers belonging to media figures, but have chosen not to reveal the information. Flynt has repeatedly stated that his aim is not to publish scandals for their own sake but rather to expose hypocrisy and challenge those who try to impose moral values on others.

I believe this story came out because of Big Head DC who has the story on Trent Lott and the escort. Link to Big Head:http://bigheaddc.com/


I posted the latest in the Lott story here :http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2357255

6. Why doesn't Flint just release the info?

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about this Flint stuff. If he's got the
goods on some hypocrites, for Pete's sake, let's hear it.

Why are we always hearing about Flint nailing these hypocrites, yet I've
never actually heard Flint outing any of them?

What is he waiting for?

I could care less about who is banging who--but I would love to
have hypocritical, corrupt politicians exposed and sent packing.
I look at this opportunity as one way to purge the system of a few
sick bastards who are destroying our democracy.

If you've got mud on some of these corrupt bastards, Larry--then
release the hounds while we've still got a few shreds of democracy
remaining....PLEASE!

7. blogactive.com reports it was a single phone call, nothing to do with prostitution.

Blogactive reports:

"the guy Big Head has had is accuracy called into question before...

Rob Capriccioso, a Washington, D.C., blogger and sometime (now former) Radar freelancer, reported on his own blog, bigheaddc.com, last evening that Sam Donaldson's phone number appears on the D.C. Madam's supposed client list—the record of outgoing phone calls that Deborah Jean Palfrey made while operating the high-end-hooker operation that serviced Sen. David Vitter and other D.C. potentates. (Radar mentioned the Bigheaddc story here.)

What he didn't report is that Palfrey told him, repeatedly, in no uncertain terms, that her single telephone call to Donaldson had nothing to do with prostitution. "
