If that were true they would have asked Teddy anytime during the last 10-20 years.

Need one of those BS detector pictures. There’s NO WAY the media would “demand” answers.

CNN would blame the incident on Mary Jo, and that her death tarnished his reputation.

Sen. Ted Kennedy would have had a "very, very difficult" time politically surviving the drowning death of a young woman if it happened in the era of blogs, talk radio and 24-hour news cycles, Translation: Since NBC, ABC, CBS, the NYT and WAPO no longer hold a monopoly on what gets reported they would be unable to conceal a prominent Democrat's wrongdoing.

They’d demand answers just like they did with Vince Foster, Ron Brown, et al. < / sarcasm>

Today, Baughman said, Kennedy could still survive a Chappaquiddick -- largely because of the Kennedys' clout and because Massachusetts is so enamored with the family -- but it would be tougher with the Slate.coms and Drudge Reports of the world hounding him.Slate.com? They would have provided the attorney for him and spun a defense at the same time. They are a bunch of hacks over there at Slate.

I doubt it really. Democrats get a pass. This age-old homicide proves it.
To: VisualizeSmallerGovernment
What kind of “experts?” The MSM is so in the tank for the left that most would have never even heard the name “Chappaquiddick”, that Kennedy ever had an accident, or the name “Mary Jo Kopechne.”
If any reporting leaked out at all, it would be posted at places like this. The source would then be tracked down and thoroughly discredited.

Experts: Media today would demand Chappaquiddick answersLMAO!!! No they wouldn't. The Democrat newsrooms are even worse today than they were then.
The only answers would come from internet and talk radio investigations into the matter.

WHAT???
The press had 50 years to ask him!
To: Chet 99
Who are these people kidding? They give our commie/marxist president a pass on his hate American policies and deliberate destruction of our economy and freedoms and they kiss his butt everyday. Liberal Democrats get a pass from the press no matter what.
If Teddy killed Mary Jo in today’s times, the press might scorn him if he got caught on video.

Well, he would still be defended by the MSM, but he would have had to contend with the Pajama Media.

The same media that claim she drowned when in fact she suffocated would demand answers. I don’t think so.
