The National Enquirer ran a story accusing John Edwards of being involved in a “love child scandal.” The tabloid linked Edwards to a women named Rielle Hunter earlier this year, and now is claiming that the baby she is pregnant with is Edwards’. Hunter is said to be living “in hiding” with a former aide of Edwards, Andrew Young, who now claims he is the father. Could all of this be a cover up for Edwards’ presidential campaign? This is what the National Enquirer is suggesting.
I do not know any other information on this story, but it has left me thinking about these tabloid like newspapers. They make bold accusations about celebrities that most of the time are clearly not true. I am surprised that these publications don’t get into more trouble with libel law suits. Why do you think this is?
