National Enquirer's affair rumor dispelled, says John Edwards

Tabloid's affair rumor dispelled, says John Edwards
Thursday, November 29th 2007

John Edwards believes he's stared down The National Enquirer. The tab's editors have been promising a followup to The Enquirer's Oct. 10 story romantically linking the married presidential candidate with a female campaign staffer.

Edwards and the woman - identified on the Huffington Post and elsewhere as Rielle Hunter - denied allegations they'd had an affair. But one Enquirer source insisted that the tab would provide further evidence in the form of e-mails to a friend in which Hunter supposedly confided details about her love for the former senator.

But seven weeks after the first story, one Enquirer insider admits, "There's a lot of smoke" but "no smoking gun." Enquirer editor David Perel insists, "I never like to talk about what's not published, but we are still doing the story. The original story was 100% accurate."

Edwards himself has another explanation for the delay. "The story disappeared because it's made up," the Democratic candidate tells us....

2. They're (Wash Post in this case) making baseless attacks against Obama too.

All Hillary does is cackle, though.

4. Because a state-controlled media is always a sure sign of a democracy
right? The media isn't the problem. It's our poor ability to get our message across that is the problem.

5. An oligarchic, corporate-controlled media is every bit as sinister
as any state-run media.
