Edwards furious with ABC News

John Edwards’ ludicrous denials of an extramarital affair crumbled on Friday when ABC News applied enough pressure to get Edwards to agree to an interview – and an admission – finally giving the story first reported in the National Enquirer legitimacy in the eyes of the mainstream media.

The flood gates opened early Friday afternoon when Brian Ross and producer Rhonda Schwartz posted a story on ABCNews.com stating that Edwards had admitted to an affair with Rielle Hunter, a videographer who was paid in excess of $100,000 by the Edwards campaign to make a few short web videos.

The Enquirer reported last week that Hunter told a friend that Edwards was the father of her 5 ½ month old child. Edwards continues to insist that he is not the father, though he has not taken a paternity test.

The ABC News story was picked up by the cable news networks and the endless media loop began.

It’s an election year, and the Dems don’t want to damage their symbiotic relationship with the press.

Don't you think this will be the "evidence" that Dims point to that "proves" the news media is tough on them?

Speaking of the “love child”: Given Edwards’ characterization of his (lack of) feelings for her mother, shouldn’t we find another sobriquet for the little b*stard?
