The media double standard over John Edwards scandal

For anyone who doubts a liberal bias in the media, please look into the reporting of the John Edwards affair in relationship to "The New York Grimes" (not misspelled) reporting of the supposed John McCain’s affair with a lobbyist.

McCain story made front page and was found to be untrue. The Edwards' affair went unreported for 10 months in the main stream press with the exception of what was referred by Edwards as lies in the “Tabloid Trash” National Enquirer.

Newspapers are supposed to find the truth in stories and report. Score zero in the McCain report. Now the Edward’s story is out there.

Here we have one of the most sue-happy lawyers in the country who has made millions for himself in litigating liability cases who is supposedly being blasphemed and libeled for 10 months and he is not making a move. Think something might stink there?

Think the Democratic Party knew the truth and advised this ticking time bomb to get out of the race early before you blow the party up? There is still an unreported story here.

In the meantime I advise all you forgiving liberals who love having the truth hidden from them because it hurts your feelings.

Remember how John Edwards blasted Bill Clinton for his lies? Start reading the National Enquirer, you might be able to make contact with Big Foot and have him speak in place of Edwards at the convention.
