It takes a foreign paper to overcome the MSM bias. Will this break the dam? The NE is supposed to publish photos this week, and a security guard has confirmed the facts of his visit. If this was Romney would the MSM have held back? rrriiiiggghhht

#6  "Pretty soon the NE will be Americas Paper of Record."

The late lamented Weekly World News billed itself as "The World's Only Reliable Newspaper." I preferred to call them "the most trusted voice in major media."

#5  If this were, say, Mitt Romney or some other recent GOP contender, you could bet your last dollar the media would run it 24/7, even pre-empting the latest paens to their own candidate, the Obamasiah, to ensure saturation coverage.

If it were McCain himself, the level of media hysteria would break all previous records for crass sensationalism. Actually, it would be pretty remarkable if it were McCain, but it might explain his recent lack of energy.

#4  Isn't it lovely how easily the Times falls into a feeling of superiority to its supposed equal on the other side of the pond?

#3  Even so, Tony Pierce, editor of the Los Angeles Times, issued an edict to the paperÂ’s own bloggers to stay off the subject. “Because the only source has been the National Enquirer, we have decided not to cover the rumours or salacious speculations,” he wrote.

Mickey Kaus, a blogger for Slate magazine, leaked the memo. He noted: “This was a sensational scandal that the Los Angeles Times and other mainstream papers passionately did not want to uncover when Edwards was a formal candidate and now that the Enquirer seems to have done the job for them it looks like they want everyone to shut up while they fail to uncover it again.”

The New York Times has not deigned to touch the story, although it recently ran thousands of words on a relationship between McCain and a female lobbyist, which appeared to be based more on innuendo than fact.

My, my! Doesn't the Times feel any professional courtesy to its New World brethern?

#2  The NE supposedly has airtight defences for any action Breck Boy brings. And they certainly knowhow to drive up sales. Pretty soon the NE will be Americas Paper of Record.
