The National Enquirer has been around longer than most of us. It was founded in 1926. I used to read it along with the Star, The Globe, and National Examiner when I went around the market aisles as I helped my wife with food shopping. We finally agreed I wasn’t really helping. So that ended my market tabloid reading. I knew there might be a thread of truth in many of the articles but I usually laughed at the information and considered it pure gossip.
That has changed now that the John Edwards affair has gone from laughable to “it’s true.” The mainstream media needs to read those papers too. I was shocked and disappointed when I learned that John Edwards admitted to the affair. David Bonior, a former congressman from Michigan and Edwards’ campaign manager was disappointed and angry after hearing about Edwards’ confession. I delayed writing about this whole sordid affair because I wanted to learn more before making any comments. The additional news about John Edwards has only made me feel worse.
It is interesting to note that the National Enquirer does not have an on-line edition. You cannot obtain their latest news by searching on the internet.
By the way my research for this commentary was the market where all of the above mentioned tabloids are still available to helpful husbands. This week edition of The Enquirer has a small headline about John Edwards’ Love Child. The Globe has the hotter article this week. Laura Bush has moved into a separate bedroom in the White House. You will have to do your own research to determine the reason. I am sure it isn’t pretty. Will the main stream media check this out? My guess is they won’t.
