…beat her breast over Andrew Young as the enabler of John Edwards and his book?
Were none of these people employed as journalists in 2008? They certainly believe that Morning Joe viewers don’t read Kausfiles.
You want to see enablers of John Edwards Tina, look in the mirror.
Update: Byron York Elaborates:
Dec 2007:
At the time, Edwards thought he had outsmarted the watchdogs of the press, frustrating their best attempts to uncover the story. But it later turned out that many journalists just didn’t want to report the news and hadn’t tried very hard to uncover the facts.
And then again July 2008, Edwards is actually caught in a Hotel:
The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the broadcast networks and the cable news outlets — none reported the story. And yet this time it bubbled up, from the blogs to talk radio to late-night television. By the second week of August, Edwards appeared on ABC News to semi-confess.
An explosive scandal had been kept out of the press for months at a time when the man at the center of it was an important player in national politics. Why? Young thought it was because the Edwards camp so tightly controlled information that journalists weren’t able to find sources to corroborate the Enquirer’s reporting. Perhaps that was part of it. But the fact was, many editors and reporters just didn’t want to tell the story. They admired Elizabeth Edwards. They saw no good in exposing John Edwards’ sordid acts.
Journalists saw no good in exposing the sordid acts of a former, senator, vice presidential and presidential candidate.
Remember Media when you ask why you aren’t trusted or respected remember that you did this to yourselves.
