How long can the MSM hold out in refusing to cover the Love Child Story?

Let's please dispense with the suggestion that John Edwards' relationship with Rielle Hunter isn't "newsworthy." Perhaps the public's sense of propriety has been sufficiently dulled in recent years that a national politician can father a love child while his wife is dying of cancer, arrange for campaign subordinates to take the rap for him, and yet still remain a viable candidate for vice president or attorney general. It doesn't follow that the media should take no notice of the fact.
