Whatever happened to the John Edwards -Rielle Hunter Story

I am not one to follow the latest gossip stories from the National Enquirer. But I could not help but be intrigued by a story that broke out late last year. It alleged that the former presidential candidate, John Edwards, had an affair with a former campaign consultant - Rielle Hunter. She is even rumored to be pregnant. What is even more intriguing, is the blackout that the main stream media gave to this story? How Edwards escaped the media scrutiny of such a scandal escapes me. One wonders why? Was it one of those rare occassions that the media chose not to tear down a media darling? Mondoreb explores the likely reasons why in this interesting post.
