The media has no ethics.

A Dark Unseen Scandal Star?
Plus—kf gets bitchy.
By Mickey Kaus
Updated Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2007, at 6:33 PM ET
Do you sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation. But Rosenbaum says “everyone in the elite Mainstream media” knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I’m not in the elite, because I don’t know what he’s talking about. ... My vestigial Limbaugh gland tells me it must involve a Democrat, or else the Times would have found a reason to print it. ... P.S.: If it’s just Richardson, that will be very disappointing. ... 3:16 P.M. link

This woman, the article says, "lives with the Clintons."I say that is BS. Billy Jeff spends too much time away from the house for that to be true.

I don't see Obama as Gay. Maybe a 'love' child or two out there (maybe he denied paternity somewhere along the way). I don't think they would sit on anything for an R ...but hurting Obama's candidacy could cause serious liberal media wringing of hands.

A Media Ethics Dilemma

That's impossible. You can't have an ethics dilemma if you don't have any ethics.

Izzy:
I do think the press would sit on the story if it involves a Republican. They will eventually release it at a critical time. There are some stories they sit on forever though, for an example, the Vince Foster murder.

If it is Rudy it would be out, If it is Hillary we will never see it from the LA Times.

I hate cryptic rumors!

The Observer Article

But how does that square with the "this hasn't been out there in this specific form before" statement?

Rumors of Hillary's SSAD have been around for years.

I’ve mentioned before that in 2000, the Gore campaign was begging the MSM to print an outrageous scandal (and I think libel)about George Bush. This was just before they got the DUI story published, but that was not it. As we know, the DUI story was true. I’m sure the “story” I know about was not true. So when I see an article like this one, I’m not certain it’s about a democrat. That would be my first guess, but I know it is possible for the MSM to sit on an anti republican scandal, possibly because they can’t prove it and don’t want to get burned, as later happened to Dan Rather. There are tons of “scandals” floating around about everybody all the time, but I think the MSM does filter the ones that have no facts backing them up, even against republicans. Now for democrats, they will sit on them even with facts, of course.

I think "in this specific form" refers to a specific person.

“Or is this a trick question?”

I think it’s an analogy. Think of the money as a story, and the partnership as being a media-democrat party one.

It can’t be Obama. Joe Biden has vouched that Obama is , “..articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. “

There you go!

It can’t be a Democrat. It’s impossible to shame one.

My guess is that it’s about Rudy and the media is holding onto it because they want him to be their trojan horse then pull the surprise once he has the nomination wrapped up.

Remember, liberal have an incredible capacity to deceive themselves.
