HuffPost, as liberal as it comes, added a special Big News section just for John Edwards.
So no, the liberal news isn't ignoring it.
Lol. Sure. After the Enquirer caught him sneaking out of a hotel room at 2 in the morning and they couldn't ignore it anymore. Do you honestly believe that this was the first time anyone heard about this? It was just the first time *you* heard about it, and that's because virtually no one covered it.
You are aware that the Enquirer has been pursuing this story for over a year, right? A few small papers picked up on it, but it got *zero* mainstream media traction. Why? What's incredibly funny about this is that during the same time period in which this story was floating out there, the New York Times ran the 8 year old "allegation of something that might be perceived as improper and might therefore been seen as the possibility of an affair by McCain" story on their front page.
So an 8 year old nothing story gets the front page, but allegations of Edwards having an affair and possibly a secret love child doesn't? When have you ever known the media *not* to print a story about even the most vague allegations of a sex scandal? Apparently, only when it's a Democrat. See. When there's a hint that a Republican might have done something wrong, it's printed and pursued to death. But when it's a Democrat, suddenly no one moves on it until there's "proof". But if no one in the media pursues the story, then no proof ever comes out. Catch-22...
