So the Huffington Post is linking to the New York Post who then trashes Edwards
Edited on Thu Apr-05-07 11:11 AM by trumad
Note that the pic says AP--- so I thought it was an AP report and clicked on it---Nope--- it was Murdochs NYP and the title of the piece is: EDWARDS CASHING IN ON WIFE'S CANCER

I'm finding shit like this more and more often on the supposed Progressive Huffington Post.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/



Here's the Post link and a snip of the piece:

April 5, 2007 -- Democratic White House hopeful John Edwards' team has been collecting e-mail addresses from supporters who've sent his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, notes - and using them for fund-raising requests, aides acknowledged yesterday.

1. What if it's true?
Which I suspect it is...

But, if it is, it's not "trashing."

Granted, I don't like the fishwrap in question, but what if it is true?

Just asking.

7. That's what the comments below the article are saying. That the HuffPost is biased.

Apparently the regulars feel that this isn't the first time that the HuffPost has smeared Edwards and pushed Obama. Most all of the comments are angry at the HuffPost.

2. I can't stomach Arianna Huffington and don't go on her site...
even if it's true that Edward's team is doing that, I see nothing wrong with it.

4. It's About Time Someone on HuffPost Addressed This Issue....
Why give space and exposure to Murdock poison?

Next thing you know they will be carrying the "Fox News Network's Review of Democratic Candidates"

5. seems logical to me - if someone supports Elizabeth's decision to partake in
partake in the campaign despite her cancer aren't they in effect supporting their campaign - part of which is to show Americans that the Edwards' are striving for something larger than themselves???:

6. The blogs are becoming more partisan
Kos has been flaming Obama and pumping Edwards. HuffPost doing the reverse.

That's why I hang out here; it's an equal opportunity ass kicking society. :evilgrin:
