If you ever needed an example of media bias, look at how little has been reported about John Edwards since he admitted to having an affair with Rielle Hunter last August. For years, the press adored the Breck Girl’s fancy looks, his class-warfare message, and the way he stuck by his wife when she learned she had cancer during last year’s campaign. All that adulation has now been quietly swept under the rug.
What a fantastic opportunity for trial lawyers to polish up their tarnished image. While some trial attorneys really do protect the weak and attack injustice, Edwards made obscene fortunes cashing in on peoples’ misfortunes. He was the poster child for lawsuit abuse.
Now is the time for some real justice. While the government is investigating his campaign finances, the trial lawyers need to lead a class action lawsuit to return all those political contributions to the special interest groups and misled liberals who supported Edwards. He should be disbarred. His wife, Elizabeth, should get everything he owns.
Greed, deceit, immorality, hypocrisy - the media should shine a bright spotlight on all that is John Edwards.
