They should not even pay attention to this tabloid crap

 
mofomisfit 2008-08-08 03:55:52 PM  
Are you saying that a public figure admitting to an affair is bigger news than the insinuation of that affair in the National Enquirer? I'm SHOCKED.

 
Nabb1 [TotalFark] 2008-08-08 03:56:17 PM  
All the news outlets reporting this, and the NRO link goes green?

In fact, this matter would, ideally, be between him, his family, and his mistress.

The national news didn't cover the affair, the Enquirer picked up on the story....NOW the national media has jumped on the bandwagon.

Maybe Saskwatch and Britney's three-legged lovechild IS real.

It takes a lot of work to play this dumb, Mr. York.

Kudos to you, sir.

I think he got the steps all wrong.

1. Run for President.
2. Get elected President.
3. While in the White House, pull a "Clinton".
4. Profit?

Looks like Edwards is going to have to jump the aisle and become a Republican now. I mean, if it works for McCain...

What's shocking is that National Enquirer actually did a better job than the MSM

I can't believe that this stupid John Edwards affair has knocked the Russian Tanks off the front page of CNN.

An aggressive and militarized Russia has a much greater effect on my life than Capt. Hair banging his mistress.

 
SlothB77 2008-08-08 04:02:01 PM  
major media didn't report it because they were trying to carry edward's water. they tried to bury it, but then here comes the national inquirer and stumbles right into it. the thorn in their back.

they didnt cover it before because it was a tabloid story. they are covering it now because there has been independent confirmation.

I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, but an indictment of American media consumers. We get crap because we like crap.

Why is this horn dog on TV then? I mean really, who gives a shiat? I need to know where Edwards dips his stick like I need a hole in the head.

This shiat is taking front page while a farking full scale war with hundreds of casualties (both military and civilian) is being pushed into the sidelines.

The Russians invaded Georgia. Augusta has already fallen and the fighting is heavy around Savannah.

To be fair to the shiat show that is the MSM, marijuana plants knocked the russian tanks off of the CNN main page.

If it was a Republican we'd just make fun of him for talking about family values and having gay sex on the side.

Ok you got me there. And its not gay sex on the side, I thought gay sex happened in the back?

And why is this front page CNN?
