Covering for Edwards

"What else are they not telling us for fear it will hurt the Democrats' prospects?"


Glen Reynolds,
about the Legacy Media's attempts to ignore and withhold the Edwards story.

Aside from the schadenfreude of seeing such an arrogant, transparent fraud like Edwards exposed, that is what is interesting about this story. Not the affair, but the cover-up and those that were complicit in it.

Good Question.
NYT "Public editor" Clark Hoyt freely admits that his paper "never made a serious effort to investigate the story ." Hoyt goes on to say that he doesn't think that "liberal bias had anything to do with it." However, in the very same column he admits that the Times freely reported totally unsubstantiated rumors about an affair involving John McCain. If you treat a Republican one way and a Democrat another and it isn't liberal bias — then what is it?
