Atlantic Covers John Edwards: No Mention of 'Democrat;' Republicans Trashed Five Times: Curiously, an Atlantic article that points out Old Media was "late to report" on John Edwards' extramarital affairs and corruption makes its own strange omission from the story. Somehow, blogger Hampton Dellinger forgets to mention even once that Edwards was, indeed, a Democrat. Yet five times the piece mentions Republicans in order to cast aspersions on the Grand Old Party.
This one can be chalked up to one of our favorite games, the "name that party" game, where one can read an entire story about a troubled or criminal politician without once being told that the subject is a Democrat.
