journalism is a 'finished' entertainment package. These people have a license to make or destroy whomever they choose. They made Dan Quayle out to be a imbecile. They made John Edwards out to be a saint, to a lot of dems. They evey try to repackage John 'flip flop' Kerry almost succeeded.
Interesting comparison of John "Breck Girl" Edwards and Dan ("you're no John Kennedy") Quayle.
Of course you are right that the journalism savaged Quayle, and promoted Edwards.
