LA Times gag on Edwards love child story
Dallas morning views ^ | Jul 25 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 07/25/2008 3:47:52 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

Today, the Los Angeles Times ordered its bloggers not to talk about the story. Here, via Kausfiles, is the memo from an editor there: Hey bloggers, There has been a little buzz surrounding John Edwards and his alleged affair. Because the only source has been the National Enquirer we have decided not to cover the rumors or salacious speculations. So I am asking you all not to blog about this topic until further notified. If you have any questions or are ever in need of story ideas that would best fit your blog, please don't hesitate to ask Keep rockin, Tony

This is monica lewinsky all over again.

Remember the media trying to cover that one up?

Or how about Dianne Feinstein doing the same thing that Cunningham did? The media didn't make a big deal about that either.

Of course, the LAT could just send out one of it's activists and simply ask J.E. But they won't.

Edwards is a slimy douchebag.

At least he didn't abort the kid.

Running away from reporters and locking himself in a bathroom is real Presidential.

Never forget that over 50 million Americans voted for this creature.

This Republic is on the ropes.

And "Freedom of the Press" is an illusion.

Oh, oh, oh. This cries out for a Edwards thread.

Yes, it looks like a lewinsky. LOL I want to know if Edwards tapped his toes while in the restroom?

What kind of editor ends communications made in an official capacity with “Keep rockin’?” Is he Neil Young? Or, much more likely, is he an absurd dweeb trapped in adolescence and the false culture of cool?

there was a thread this morning about NBC news mentioning the “scuttlebutt” and “rumours” that McCain stopped hussien’s trip to see the soldiers in germany...

that sort of garbage is fair game to the liberal media...

“At least he didn’t abort the kid.”

He might have wanted to, but the mistress knew not to kill her meal ticket.

July 25... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,391426,00.html

A Beverly Hills hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this week between a man he identified as former Sen. John Edwards and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they’re calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child.

The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men’s room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

From the Post Politics Hour:  washingtonpost.com's Daily Politics Discussion:

Dunn Loring, Va.: Does the Post have any political reporters investigating the legitimacy of the Enquirer's stories about John Edwards?

Jonathan Weisman: Yes, and to be quite honest, we're waiting to see the pictures the Enquirer says it will publish this weekend. That said, Edwards is no longer an elected official and is not running for any office now. Don't expect wall-to-wall coverage.
