ONLY HIS HAIR DRESSER KNOWS FOR SURE!
August 6, 2008
The mainstream media's reaction to the National Enquirer's reports on John Edwards' "love child" scandal has been reminiscent of the Soviet press. Edwards' name has simply been completely whitewashed out of the news. Say, why isn't anyone talking about John Edwards for vice president anymore? No, seriously –- hey! Why are we going to a commercial break?
I suspect that if I tried to look up coverage of the Democratic primaries in Nexis news archives, Edwards' name will have disappeared from the debates. By next week, Edwards won't have been John Kerry's running mate in 2004.
Do you know what this means? At this precise moment in time, I could call Edwards a name that would send me to rehab, and the media wouldn't be able to report it!
A Washington Post reporter defended the total blackout on the National Enquirer's John Edwards' love child story, telling the Times of London: "Edwards is no longer an elected official and he is not running for office now. Don't expect wall-to-wall coverage." This was the perfect guy to talk to because if there's one thing they're careful about in London, it's tabloid excess.
Isn't there some level of coverage between "wall-to-wall" and "double-secret probation, delta-force level total news blackout" when it comes to a sex scandal involving a current Democratic vice presidential and Cabinet prospect?
Hey, what sort of "elected official" was Ted Haggard again? He was the Christian minister no one outside of his own parish had ever heard of until he was caught in a gay sex scandal last year. Then he suddenly became the Pope of the Protestants. And yet, despite the fact that Haggard was not an "elected official," the Post gave that story wall-to-wall coverage. And what sort of "elected officials" were Mel Gibson, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Bennett?

“The Drive-By Media.” What a perfect description of the America’s major “news” media organizations today. Rush Limbaugh’s name for these creepy soviet styled news outlets is perfect. And yes, expect John Edwards to become a non-person real quick with them. The “news” media will do anything -— anything to protect the Democrat Party, the Democrat Politicians, and to promote the liberal Marxist phoilosophy of the Democrat Party and of the writers and managers of these frankly weird companies; NYT, WashPost, LA TIMES, ABCNBCCNN etc. These organizations have evolved in to nothing but DNC brainwashing bureaus.
Thanks for posting this info. How can the MSM just refuse to report on this when it is all over the country and on late night TV?
Loved this part:

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.”
HEY...screw you LA TIMES..we will blog all we want!
Let me see if I get this straight...the MSM does not want to ‘report’ on a rumor story from the National Enquirer about John Edward’s love child........but ABC BROKE a HUGE NEWS STORY ABOUT MARK FOLEY in 2004 based on a shadowy blog that had only been in operation for a month and the MSM ran with it, including the LA TIMES.
OKie Dokie....(eye roll)
The Breck Girl does not exist, he never existed, he never was Jon Carry's VP running mate, and he never did extort so many millions of dollars via bogus medical lawsuits channelling talking fetuses, etc.See also, from kausfiles (Why Cover the Edwards Scandal?):
3. Relevance: If a politician is a great executive, thinker or diplomat who cheats on his brave, ill wife, you figure, "OK, We're not hiring him because of his sterling private behavior."If a politician whose chief appeal is his self-advertised loyalty to his brave, ill wife cheats on his brave ill wife, what's he good for again?
And if Edwards' crucial talent as a public official is his ability to move people with tearjerky anecdotes,
and those anecdotes (like the tale of his spousal loyalty, or the girl with no coat, or the anecdote that reportedly made John Kerry queasy about him)--turn out to be BS or half BS, that's more than random hypocrisy,It goes to the core of what he does and what he claims to offer.
Senator Hillary Clinton visits a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk, she has a question and answer period. A little boy raises his hand and the senator asks him for his name.
"Kenneth." he answered.
"And what is your question, Kenneth?" asked Senator Clinton.
"I have three questions: First, whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second, why would you consider running for President after your husband shamed the office?
And third, whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the children that they will continue after recess.
When they resume Hillary says, "Okay where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"
A different little boy puts his hand up. Hillary points to him and asks him for his name.
"Larry." He answered.
"And what is your question Larry?" asked Hillary.
"I have five questions: First, whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second, why would you consider running for President after your husband shamed the office?
Third, whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?
Fourth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
And five, what happened to Kenneth?"
or at least a 1099.
It got a good laugh last nite on the Leno show.
Now if Edwards were a Republican.....whaddaya think we wudda seen in the Old Grey Harridan?
The MSM hacks don’t require any extra pay to protect a ‘Rat scumbag like Edwards — it’s simply part of their job descriptions.

Thanls for posting this.
After paternity is established, Ann could have fun apologizing to Edwards for her “faggot” remark.
bttt
From what my parents told me it was the same during FDR’s time and since. The MSM kept FDR’s paralysis a secret for years, his and Eleanor’s extramarital love interests and the fact that the Jap Purple Code was broken. FDR knew what would happen at Pearl, Aleutions and Manila but he had promised Joe Stalin and Churchill to get America into the war. The MSM jobs are open only to leftist propaganda whores.
That is so funny, I can’t stop laughing. ROTFLMAO!
Nice !!! I wonder for how long?
brilliant!
I think I could be fairly quiet for quite some time. As long as they provide cost-of-living raises.
On second thought, maybe not.
She sure as a way with words. Love it.
