Bingo!

Alabama news station WKBG reports that the Washington Post has been making robocalls offering money for dirt on Roy Moore. They've got the tape and you can listen for yourself.

The article states:

Here is the text of that voicemail message received by Pastor Al Moore in Creola. "Hi, this is Bernie Bernstein, I’m a reporter for the Washington Post calling to find out if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5000 and $7000 dollars. We will not be fully investigating these claims however we will make a written report. I can be reached by email at albernstein@washingtonpost.com, thank you.”

End.

Listen to it here.

Marty Baron, Executive Editor of WAPO denies this is from them:

"The Post has just learned that at least one person in Alabama has received a call from someone falsely claiming to be from The Washington Post. The call’s description of our reporting methods bears no relationship to reality. We are shocked and appalled that anyone would stoop to this level to discredit real journalism.”

End statement.

Efforts to reach the e-mail address have failed. Also, the name does not match any Washington Post reporter, but that would hardly be a surprise.

So, the Washington Post is being framed, not the other way around! Ri-ight.
