Journalists Begin to Question Coverup of John Edwards Scandal

John Edwards, a liberal Senator and short-list contender for the Vice Presidency, was caught by seven reporters of the National Enquirer in a hotel at 2 am as part of what appears to be a major personal scandal. I have a distaste for personal muckraking, so I won't repeat the specifics directly (although one can easily follow the link in this post).

In more than a week since that event, no major mainstream media source has even mentioned the story, but a handful of reporters from minor newspapers have noticed that Edwards has been evading their questions and that neither party has denied the allegations.

One courageous left-of-center reporter, however, has blogged the events in the scandal and is admitting quite openly to the coverup by the like-minded liberal media.

Take a look and then consider the media feeding frenzy that occurred over the scandals of Republican politicians Larry Craig, Dan Quayle and Newt Gingrich. Each of them was turned into a laughingstock through non-stop abuse by media personalities long after the events had transpired.

Oddly, some journalists want to know the truth

The phenomenon of left-wing media bias is common to all Western countries, which is why this story is worth mentioning in an Israel-oriented blog. Like a one-way valve that is designed to close should blood flow in the wrong direction, leftists only grant like-minded colleagues entry into influential positions in the media, civil service, academia, and other institutions of cultural influence. Because they systematically exclude the most talented applicants, many of these institutions disintegrate without ever taking corrective action. For example, all the news media would have to do to recover would be to cut out the liberal bias.
