If This Were a Fox Reporter

........it would have been front page news in the Liberal media and he would have been held WITH bail and would face jail time;



NEW YORK - A CNN reporter was arrested Friday in Central Park with a small amount of methamphetamine in his pocket, but he avoided jail time by agreeing to undergo drug counseling and therapy.


 
Richard Quest, 46, was arrested around 3:40 a.m. on a count of possession of a controlled substance — a misdemeanor that usually refers to a personal use amount of a drug. He was also charged with loitering; the park officially closes at 1 a.m.

When police saw and detained Quest, he told them, "I've got some meth in my pocket," according to the complaint filed in court. The complaint said he had a plastic sandwich bag containing methamphetamine in a jacket pocket.

Quest, who is British, is a correspondent for CNN International and is known for his reports on business travel. He hosts "CNN Business Traveler" and "Quest."

At his arraignment in Manhattan's Criminal Court, Judge Anthony Ferrara told Quest that if he attends the counseling and therapy designated by prosecutors for the next six months, his case will dismissed.

The judge allowed Quest to leave court without posting bail. He warned that if Quest failed to comply with the counseling schedule, he could be back in court and on his way to jail.

Quest's lawyer, Alan M. Abramson, said his client "did not realize the park had a curfew. He was returning to his hotel with friends."

CNN had no immediate comment on Quest's arrest.

This story was featured on Drudge and CNN.com this morning, Joe.

Yet it is not featured on http://www.foxnews.com/

This kinda blows holes in your argument from two angles.

Didn't see it on CNN, PMSNBC, the LA Times, NY Times and later I will check the networks (NBC, CBS and ABC) but I would almost bet you will see it this coming week on FOX.

Why would FOX wait a few days to report the news?

I find it quite disgusting that anyone would judge this man for having a health problem.  Or maybe he just enjoys using meth every now and then?  What business is it of anyone but himself?

On a sad note, Jesse James and Sandra Bullock were hit by a drunk driver last night in Gloucester, Mass....no injuries to report.

The problem, matt C, is that if you excuse his behavior, there will be 10,000 people smoking meth in Central Park this evening at 3 AM.

That costs society a lot.  There goes the neighborhood.

You can thank Mitt Romney for the lax DUI laws in Mass...

Dude, you know as well as I on the weekends it's political talk, business, markets, etc. They generally don't have that kind of news until O'Reilly or Hannity go back to work on Mon.

lol.

It wasn't alright that he was in the park during non-operating hours, and ideally, people should keep their drug use in the privacy of their own homes.  But in the long term, advocating personal freedoms will be better than the short term benefits of saving the life of one or two people who use drugs like their idols and get sick.  Prohibition and tenets thereof may help in the short term in some respects, but not in the long term.

Their home page FOXnews.com contains new stories that happened today.

Why would a serious new organization like FOX leave reporting of stories like this to its pundits, instead of reporting it as news, as Drudge and CNN.com did?  

Is there some benefit to having the news reported with an admitted slant, 3 days late, instead of when it happens?

Did the drunk driver have a previous record for DUIs?

As Rudy Guiliani noted, Romney had a soft spot for criminals as governor.  If that offender had previous DUI stops, but didn't do time, I think we know where the problem lies... liberal republican governors.
