#3 I restpectfully disagree Proc. Trunks are not properly vetted. There was nothing proper about the way the media treated Sarah Palin - and she was just a VP Candidate.

They ignored worries and cries to investigate Obama's Marxist roots and his association with known terrorists (Ayers) yet make a huge scandal about the purchase of a used tanning bed.

They are simply an extension of the Democratic Party.

#4 the mainstream media went to sources within the Edwards campaign to try to confirm the stories and got nowhere. No one in the campaign would confirm them.

Giggle. Journalist Mickey Kaus was all over this story from the beginning, almost daily urging, goading, and shaming his colleagues to follow up on the obvious fact that the man was lying, that the woman was pregnant, that his aide was not the father etc. There is one and only one angle to this story, which is the media double standard that nearly gave the nation an even more outrageous clown in the White House than the current joker.
