Why should they care more about the family of the lying sack of sh$% called John Edwards?
Sure you are ill but was the family of Larry Craig ill, did anyone care?
Answer is that the media knew all along but hid it because Edwards has that D behind his name, family be damned!
We can speak of all sorts of Republicans the media has put through the wringer, Clarence Thomas comes to mind but no one ever asks the question, "What about their families" so buck up honey, it was he who screwed up NOT the media.
The MSM did their bit, they covered it up until they could do no longer.
The Edwards children are innocent bystanders and deserve sympathy. However, John Edwards is responsible for this drama and is responsible for any pain inflicted on his own family. The National Inquirer did not do the 'deed'; it only exposed this creep. Incidently, Larry Craig was also responsible for any pain inflicted on his family and earned his own exposure.
