The National Enquirer Scoops Everyone

Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate from ABC News

How is it possible that this story stayed under wraps in the mainstream media for so long after the National Enquirer first broke it? Is it at all possible that a similar allegation about a Republican politician would have been blatantly ignored for this long?

You'll recall, back in February, the New York Times ran a front-page story that all-but accused John McCain of having an affair with a female lobbyist. The story has yet to be proven accurate, in any sense of the word, and yet that didn't stop the "paper of record" from splashing it all over their front page.

Meanwhile, a former relative front runner for the Democratic nomination for President is all but caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar, and the Times, and the vast majority of the rest of the media is silent.
