"Readers of the popular if trashy weekly — perhaps some who only glance at the headlines at the checkout counter — joined the political enemies of the handsome Democrat in asking why other news media were not carrying the story."
this is CYA BS because the internet had the story sliced and diced FOR TWO WEEKS AT LEAST.
This is reporters trying to save their jobs and cover their incompetence.
‘Better to get it right even if we couldn’t get it first’
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
This AP, Right??
OBVIOUSLY that rule only applies to DEMOCRATS, because that certainly hasn’t been the case with REPUBLICANS....
I’d like to see a poll of nothing but Democrats, asking if they believed the media didn’t report this story only because it was too difficult to prove.
Just to get a base number of how many Americans I can write off automatically astotally clueless and beyond hope.
Bullcrap. Republican Senator Larry Craig.
The real story is that they didn’t want to investigate it. They didn’t want to have to deal with it. They didn’t want to take down a prominent, beautiful democrat woman.

McCain’s “affair”
I call BULLSTALIN.
“Right... and if Edwards were a Republican they would’ve printed it immediately.”
Of course they would’ve, in a heartbeat!!! Interesting also that the Enquirer is becoming a leader in breaking real stories, for at least the second time recently. Although the “news media” disparages them - with all the past mega-lawsuits they’ve had, I think they’re (now) actually more responsible and trustworthy than most of the MSM when it comes to facts. I saw an interview earlier with one of their spokesmen who said they’d been researching the Edwards story for many, many months. None of the other networks had the cajones to barely mention it, much less follow up.
What about “the seriousness of the charge”?
HAHAHAHA! What a load of B.S. It's never stopped MSM before.
What's worse, despite witness, doccuments, photographs and other irrefutable evidence pointing to a truth, MSM WILL NOT PRINT a story that harms their political position.
AP’s approach: ‘Better to get it right even if we couldn’t get it first’
Oh really, is that why Dan Rather couldn’t wait to publish a memo without verifying its authenticity?
Corrected portion in bold.
The transparency of these mediots is truly astounding. They must really get a rush when they throw their credibility in the crapper on a daily basis.

Meantime, did he not say he had recently grown narcissistic'? lol/ we know his narcissism has been unplugged for years! (have only to think of his 'Breck moment' per hair-combing event' caught on camera; and nothing 'recent' about that display of 'self-indulgence'. (Depends on the meaning of 'recent'. ..)
Do hope they investigate just 'who' is paying the now, 'Mother'; and from where it comes from (Campaign finance or Edward's has secret bank account?). How is all this reported per 'income tax'? We need more 'light' here; hope someone has a bright one.
Meantime, 'thanks National Enquier'. . .(sickening listening to Libs call this a 'tragedy'. Scooter Libby was a tragedy; Edwards sowed. . .and now he reaps; at least I hope he does.)
And did he have to say per these relevations of his private life; that he has now been 'beaten up and stripped bare'? /gag for sure/ Did he mean to share such personal details here? Strange choice of words, for sure. . ./double gag/
They can spare us the BS. The Pressholes were dragged kicking and screaming to this party.
Jokes R Us
Tell us some more fairy tales.
Edwards would have never confessed to the affair if the online community was not around. The internet is the best thing that ever happened for news - the paradigm of MSM control over the spread of information has ended.
