ALEXANDRIA, VA – On Sunday’s edition of ABC’s The Week, Martha Raddatz managed to
conduct a six minute-long interview with Democratic Senator Bob Menendez
without asking a single question about an FBI investigation into allegations
that he slept with underage prostitutes while in the Dominican Republic.
Instead Raddatz lobbed softball questions at Menendez about Sec. Hillary
Clinton’s performance during the Benghazi hearings, immigration reform, Chuck
Hagel, and the upcoming Senate race in New Jersey.

Research Center President Brent Bozell reacts:
“If there were even a whisper that a
Republican Senator had been sleeping with underage prostitutes, the very first
question from Martha Raddatz would have been about those allegations. When it
surfaces that a Democrat may have done something tawdry, the liberal media
suddenly lose their journalistic curiosity. The allegations surfaced on Friday,
and it was Raddatz’s responsibility as a journalist to ask Menendez about them on
the record. The MRC isn’t taking a position on the allegations one way or the
other, but the question should have been asked.”
