John Edwards Admits He Fathered Rielle Hunter’s Child – ABC leaves out the part about Edwards being a Democrat

abcWhen the stories about Mark Sanford or John Ensign or any other Republican “sex scandal” came out, ABC, along with other lame stream media sites and broadcasts had no problem mentioning party affiliation. In fact, they gloated over the fact they were Republicans. When a Democrat is exposed, suddenly the party affiliation doesn’t matter. Take for instance today’s story at ABC.com (from GMA) about Mr. $400 haircut John Edwards finally admitting that he fathered Rielle Hunter’s child. As you read th ABC story, you wouldn’t find one mention about his party affiliation. Of course, I guess it doesn’t matter for someone who ran for President in 2004 and 2008, was a Senator and was a running mate with John Kerry in 2004.

Former presidential candidate John Edwards abandoned his long denial that he had fathered a child during an affair with a campaign aide and admitted today that he is the father of the almost 2-year-old girl.
The senator admits he fathered a child with a former campaign worker.

“I am Quinn’s father,” Edwards said in the bombshell statement this morning. “I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves.”

The former senator and presidential hopeful had an affair with campaign cinematographer Rielle Hunter, 45, and she later give birth to Frances Quinn.

Edwards’ admission comes a week before the man who had claimed he was the baby’s father, former aide Andrew Young, was scheduled to appear in an exclusive interview on “20/20″.

In an excerpt from his upcoming interview with ABC News’s Bob Woodruff, Young alleges that Edwards asked him to arrange a fake a paternity test.

“Get a doctor to fake the DNA results,” Young said Edwards told him. “And he asked me … to steal a diaper from the baby so he could secretly do a DNA test to find out if this [was] indeed his child.”
