"have never bought the Enquirer the Star or like type rags." Me either. Still... it's interesting to note where the MSM draws the line these days as far as politicians with allegations of 'scandals' (or whatever you might want to call such a thing). Apparently -- if the blog's observations are on-point, (and I believe that they may be) -- then PRE-election, when this story would have been involving an active candidate, the MSM might have been more likely to cover the allegations. (Just as they eventually did cover the Edwards allegations, as he was still a viable national candidate at that point-in-time.) Whereas, after the election, with McCain no longer running for higher office (and Cindy out of the running for 'first lady') they are more inclined to respect the norms that used to prevail in the news industry --- of discretion, and letting private lives remain more private.
