The National Enquirer a couple of nights back caught former-Senator John Edwards, who is reportedly on Barack Obama's short list as a vice-presidential candidate, entering the Beverly Hilton Hotel room of a woman that isn't his wife.
His wife, suffering from cancer, was presumably back at home in North Carolina. The Enquirer story has the definite sound of legitimacy...
So what does the L.A. Times do, they put out an email to their bloggers telling them not to discuss the story...

The” Fairness Doctrine” at work!
But, I always thought the “Silky Pony”, A.K.A the Breck Boy, was er, uhh - never mind.
So much for the Democrapic Party “family man”.
I’ll give the LAT the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re trying to minimize this story out of respect for his dying wife and his children. If he was still a candidate for President, or even a contender for VP, it would need to be covered, but since he’s not, this is really pure tabloid trash that drags in some third parties who really shouldn’t be dragged in. There’s plenty of other tabloidy material available in which all the characters are deserving of shame and ridicule, to fill however many pages/screens the LAT sees fit to devote to tabloidy stuff.
So what about the stories regarding Rush and Senator Larry Craig?
wasn't it the same paper that allowed nasty posts about tony snow after his passing? as i understand it, every post is reviewed before it is allowed to pass on to the public web site - they approved those posts without concern for tony's widow or children - but they want to protect a cheater's wife? (did you know that condoms do not protect against hpv? why should a 'newspaper' protect his wife more than her husband?) i wonder if they 'protected' the the family of the shoe tapping craig - or the targets of the angry, vengeful old queen at crew when he decided to out republicans - did they run stories about those? there is no benefit of the doubt to be given to the la times - they are partisan hacks and deserve none of the privileges of the press

The single most dangerous event in the United States since the end of World War II has been the degeneration of the free press into a propaganda machine. This has lead to a dangerously misinform, disinformed, and uninformed electorate. A truthfully informed electorate is essential to representative government.
the security guard verified it
Actually GladesGuru, this might be an example of what the Democrats believe in as family values - Have your show family and then have your fun family.
Hey, if the Kennedys, Gary Hart, Chuck Robb, Elliot Spitzer, and others can do it, why can’t the BreckGirl?
After all, “Girls just wanna have fun.”
“I’ll give the LAT the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re trying to minimize this story out of respect for his dying wife and his children.”
It would be better if the respect for the dying wife and children came from Edwards, don’t you think?
