I'd love to see it but the only way it woudl happen is if SHE demanded it. And since she's already supported (the lie) that someone else is the father, Edwards would have a good argument in court to avoid it. Ultimately if she pushed and the other guy got tested and it's proven he's not the father then she could force it, but he's going to have to admit it before that.

I dunno guys, this sounds like Edwards was caught to me.

A hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this week between a man he identified as former Sen. John Edwards and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they're calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child.

The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men's room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

"What are they saying about me?" the guard said Edwards asked.

"His face just went totally white," the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child.

Do I clean out my inbox for individual messages or will you all give me one big, group apology?

Meh, at least it's a woman and not some dude in a restroom.

It's interesting to see all the jabs at our media for ignoring the story and ordering their reporters to not mention it.

[thatguyoverthere]

Al: "Hey, John Edwards is having an affair!"
Bob: "Really? What's the proof?"
Al: "A security guard saw tabloid reporters chasing him around a hotel!"
Bob: "That's good enough for me!!"



Edwards may be having an affair, who knows? But what really has been proven here? That National Enquirer reporters chased him around a hotel late at night?

I was under the impression that hotels didn't give out guest information to reporters. How do they know she was really staying at the hotel at all, much less that she booked two rooms?

What kind of moron books two rooms under one name, apparently their own name, when trying to have a top-secret rendevouz with a high profile public figure?

More than one tabloid reporter staked Edwards out at 2AM, but none of them brought a camera? I just can't buy that, that's completely unbelievable. Maybe they're waiting for the print publication to put the pictures in. But, if there aren't pictures, then there's something fishy going on.

And, where are the named sources and eyewitnesses that put Edwards and this lady together?

And didn't she move into the same gated community as the guy who is claiming to be the real father? And this guy gave her a car as well, right? What then, specifically, makes you doubt that Young is the real father?

It was funny reading that earlier Enquirer article that tried to cast doubt on the fact that Young might have been the real father because Young couldn't provide any evidence to prove he had an extra marital affair (as if his admission, her confirmation, and a BABY wasn't proof enough!)

I heard 7960 is having an affair with a hamster! He asked what people were talking about and looked shocked when I said they were talking about his affair with a hamster, so it must be true! (said with EXTREME sarcasm)

btw, that's laughing at, not laughing with.

So why is it that it's "the media sucking Edward's cock" if they aren't reporting this rather than "the story is completely false?"

[Shads71]

Agreed but people have been known to do extremely foolish things. Especially when it comes to S-E-X. In Britain, our own David Blunkett comes to mind - some said he had a shot at being PM one day before an affair and a child got in the. Is this story about Edwards true? I'd be surprised now since mainstream media have not picked it up.

Who said that? I didn't say that.

A couple of posts up there is a reference to the media not reporting it and reporters being told to shut up. Never said YOU said it...you know I'd love to though.

Apparently the love child has no daddy...

No father is listed on the birth certificate of a child who a tabloid newspaper claims is linked to former Sen. John Edwards.

The document doesn't help to clear up repeated allegations by the National Enquirer that the N.C. Democrat had a sexual relationship, and later a baby, with Rielle Hunter, who had been hired last year by Edwards' presidential campaign.

North Carolina papers are picking up the story.

Another British columnist attacks American media for covering this up for Edwards.
Guy Adams' US Media Diary: The 'scoop' the US papers ignored - Comment, Media - The Independent

That old cliché about everything being bigger in America seems especially pertinent when attempting to describe the sheer scale of the crisis currently afflicting the US newspaper industry, which makes all Fleet Street's woes look like a summer picnic.

Last week, The Los Angeles Times decided to flog its historic downtown offices, on top of sacking 150 of its 870 journalists. So did The Chicago Tribune. Almost every title in the land is now shedding staff; a hundred New York Times hacks have been offered voluntary redundancy; Newsweek recently announced cuts. It's a bloodbath out there, as US media companies attempt to claw a pound of flesh from haemorrhaging readerships.

Consider, against this backdrop of falling circulation and a failing industry, the decision of every mainstream paper in America to ignore the juiciest political story of the month (and possibly the year): the discovery by National Enquirer hacks of John Edwards, in the corridors of a Beverly Hills hotel, where his alleged mistress and alleged love child were also staying, at half past two on the morning of Tuesday, 22 July.

Since Edwards was, until recently, hoping to be president and will almost certainly have a prominent role in any Barack Obama administration, his marital integrity is a matter of public interest. It could yet become an election issue. Yet neither the highfalutin NYT, nor the Tribune, nor even the LA Times, on whose patch the whole sordid business occurred, have yet stepped up to the plate to report it. Their old-fashioned reticence seems quaint, in this day of kiss'n'tell and chequebook journalism. But it's also depressing: one of the reasons America's newspapers are dying is their perceived pomposity. Readers say they are too timid to rock the boat; right-wingers complain (with some justification) that they conspire to suppress damaging stories about Democrats. The general public thinks they have simply become boring.

The Edwards story could be selling truckloads of newsprint. It is attracting enormous traffic online, and has been devoured by viewers of Fox, the only TV network to report it. In ignoring the affair, newspapers are sacrificing potential readers and repeating the mistakes of the 1990s, where they loftily decided against reporting Bill Clinton's many bedroom misdeeds, allowing internet sites to claim the Monica Lewinsky "scoop."

The editor of the LA Times, Tony Pierce, has higher concerns, though. He recently sent staff an edict. "There has been a little buzz surrounding John Edwards and his alleged affair," it read. "Because the only source has been the National Enquirer we have decided not to cover the rumours or salacious speculations."

I can't pretend to know what Mr Pierce does with his 870 journalists. But if he'd asked just one of them to check out these "salacious rumours" regarding John Edwards the LA Times might have a few more readers, and fewer of the 870 staffers might have to be cut from its bloated payroll.
