The John Edwards adultry story isn’t (IMO) news about Edwards so much as it is news about the Drive-By-Media slowly lynching themselves. Quite candidly, I’ve given up on the MSM as a credible source of current relevant events. They do serve as good humor and a means to distinguish those who pay attention from those who don’t.
