  • Swallowing John Edward's Blarney

    The truth is so right there, however, due to his outrageous lies that are defended by his wife, the truth becomes murky; Slate, has become the clearinghouse of truth. Everything this man has done and not done, screams I am the father. The MSM gives him pass after pass. Why is the MSM not screaming, ''Why is his Rielle Hunter living in a three ...

  • Re: Wrong question, Mr. Kaus

    I'd rather not assault Kaus' charater or the integrity of a rag that, while sensational and a scandal-leech, is not an aliens-and-batboy type rag. We are not experts on Kaus or the NE's journalistic standards. Instead, can't we just posit that: 1. People probably should get mad at the lack of coverage certain stories get; 2. The MSM repeatedly ...

  • The Edwards Photos

    Enquirer just released the photo (singular) and, well, the Emperor has no clothes. That is, the photo, while not necessarily faked, is not even close to damning, is laughable. I stared at it like a Magic Eye image, trying to see the hidden picture and, um, no. No wonder it took so long to release them. So much for the ''tipping point'', ...

  • A Refreshing Change of Events

    I find it oddly comforting that regardless of any manipulation in the press, when confronted with this latest salacious story, by and large the public says ''meh''. When pressured to join the tarring they fight back. When it comes to reasoned debate, the voices of restrain (in my limited experience) win. More encouraging is the growing ...

  • We need the press to protect us from our inner Kaus

    MK baiting subject line aside, I'm not actually sure how much I agree with what I'm about to post. It was my first instinct, but then I started to rethink it... Fuck it, we'll do it live: *** Quite simply, voters are ''too simple-minded to weigh charges that are not proven.'' Maybe not all voters, but enough to impact the outcome of elections. ...

  • If he were a presidential candidate, this would be valid

    If he runs again for the Senate, it will be, too. It speaks to his values, and our view of them. Can we accept a senator who cheats on his dying wife? To provide a UK parallel: Nigella Lawson, a British TV chef and daughter of a former head of the Treasury, lost her husband, the journalist John Diamond, to cancer in 2001. It had been diagnosed ...

  • 4 Reasons Why He's Not Being Attacked

    There are a several reasons why this is not that big of a story First as others have noted, is the source. The second is, he is not in political office. He's no longer a presidential candidate. He has no power or real influence, why attack him? The third reason is closely related to the previous one. He isn't in a political position, and ...

  • Re: John Edwards Story

    To continue to be fair, I don't really think a case has been proven against Edwards yet. If it turns out that the National Enquirer has been barking up the wrong tree, a possibility that I don't discount for a minute, by investigating the matter the MSM will be doing the man and his family a favor. Truthfully, I don't think that Obama was ever ...

  • John Edwards Story

    Sorry Melinda and Hanna, I have to disagree. I'm a liberal and a Democrat, but fair's fair, and if we publish the Larry Craig story (and we should) we also have to at least investigate, and publish if the facts prove it out, the John Edwards story. You are walking way too thin a line between ''hypocrisy'' and ''lying.'' The affair that allegedly ...
