Getting Rielle - The Enquirer Files a Criminal Complaint in Edwards Love Child Case
Roger L. Simon —
...

CONFIRMED: FoxNews Confirms National Enquirer Story; Hotel Guard Confirms Edwards Was There, "White Faced," as Reporters Hounded Him; Former Edwards Staffer Says He's Unsurprised to Find Out Edwards was Visiting Rielle Hunter So, he was there. So, he was running. So, he was scared. Plus, a staffer all but confirms his, erm, friendliness with Rielle Hunter Can the MSM continue ignoring the obvious questions of why he was there, why he was running, and why he was scared? My guess: They'll sure try like gangbusters. A hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this ...

... then whisked away the post — which then reappeared after I wrote about it, and was then rewritten several times. Andrew Malcolm had initially commented that it would be “censorship” not to blog about it. Then an editor censored the post.
I suspect Malcolm would like to blog this again. I’ll e-mail him to ask, but I couldn’t really blame him if he didn’t want to respond on the record.
P.S. Key aspects of the story have been confirmed by Fox News. Will that change the directive?

Right-wing sex addiction problem...

... Fox Propaganda, apparently not having had any luck with trying to sell racism, has also jumped into this version of a right-wing orgy and is now trying to sell a sex scandal that even if true, has nothing to do with any of us. What, will Mr. Edwards have to step down from helping the poor now? Or will have to step down from his environmental advocacy? Let me guess, he won't be able to discuss labor issues and corporate coruption now, is that it? Shall we pin a scarlett letter on him to help better identify this sinner in public? ...

... ahead of time” about the meeting and suggested that they might even have known the room numbers in advance, but there’s conspicuously no mention of hidden cameras even though that would have been a blockbuster detail. On the other hand, would the Enquirer really try to pass off a Photoshop on a story as hot as this knowing that it’ll get massive scrutiny and Adobe geeks will be looking to debunk it? Seems too clever by half. Exit question: Fauxtography? Update: To be clear, there’s little doubt that Edwards was at the hotel. The question is, is the photo real or did they ...
