I don’t think the Dems were “duped.” It was probably well known all along that this guy was an adulterer, fornicator and who knows what else. It’s ok to bash a Republican who is caught doing some misdeed. But for their own, the Dems turn a blind eye. Or they make excuses for them.

A FReeper said on another thread that we don’t have investigative journalism anymore, and that is so true. Part of it is due to budget cuts, but another part of it is that the mainstream media is so in bed with the liberal socialists, that it too will turn a blind eye to the sins of Democrats. Only when it becomes patently obvious that some misdeed is going down do they finally come out and do the tsk-tsk. Really, media doesn’t particularly care about the American public or about the future and well being of America in general. They pander to the socialists; that’s it.

If Katie the Kopmmie gets an award for a chopped and creatively editted hit piece interview with Sarah Palin, then the Enquirer MORE than deserves a Pulitzer for finally getting the poop out on a scoop that almost everyone BUT the MSM knew to be happening.

Yet they (the MSM) had no problems reporting an untrue story about John McCain, and his supported mistress. It’s amazing what a double standard that was.

....the same press dumpster diving at Palin’s house to find the dirt takes everything libs say at face value.

But it’s not the journalists fault?????

ROSE: I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don’t, either.

ROSE: I don’t know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don’t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: Yeah, it’s an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.

BROKAW: Two of them! I don’t know what books he’s read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There’s a lot about him we don’t know.

The question needs to be asked of all those Iowegians who supported this fake in the Hawkeye Cauki.
They think they’re so smart...

But he wasn't in love with them. He was in love with someone else—and it turns out it wasn't his wife.

Edwards, first & foremost, was in love with himself.

While the media “usually does well” in vetting candidates, said presidential historian Michael Beschloss, “Edwards is a good case” in which it didn’t.

Michael Beschloss. Isn't this the guy who effusively told Imus on air that Zero's IQ was off the charts only to have to sheepishly reply to Imus when pressed that he did not know what Zero's IQ was?

Forget the lack of press scrutiny. Obama wasn’t even scrutinized by his opponent in 2008. All McCain could say was what a great guy Obammie is and better not say nofin’ bad ‘bout ‘im.
