The North Carolina Piedmont Triad's top go-to source for News
A service of the News & Record, Greensboro, North Carolina

Given the tabloids' well-earned political reporting credibility, I guess the red-faced mainstream news media has some new stories to follow:
And this one:
DEMOCRATIC presidential contender Barack Obama is caught up in a stunning new scandal as investigators scour the nation for a secret love child, political insiders reveal in a blockbuster GLOBE exclusive.

John, you are like a Timex, you take a licking and come back for more. The Tabloid was right. Face it, they kicked your butt. A friend just dropped by a copy of Rhino, unless my eyes fail me. There a agreement that Hinson signed. As I remember , there was no such agreement.
Jaycee looks like he right again.

So now the News & Record is bragging about being better than the Globe?

What a bunch of humorless people you all are. Let me give you a clue: He's making a joke. Let your hatred go and smile for once.

Humorless, you must be kidding, I laugh at John, and his flaming liberals, most every day.
John, you missed another chance. From the liberal media, John had this affair in 2006, what does it prove to bring it up now. Then how did the Tabloid catch in coming out of her room in 2008? James I never argue logic, liberal. So I do not need a clue from you!

Doug, if you stub your toe in the morning, do you start screaming "Flaming liberals!" Or if you discover you're out of milk? Stuck in traffic?
Also, I'm curious about the whole "flaming" thing. Are there flaming conservatives, or are they "icy," to maintain contrast? Honestly, "Flaming Liberal" sounds more like a mixed drink than a epithet.
Anyway, yeah, James nailed it.

I get the joke. Haha. But I also see some "defensive humor. As in "See what would happen if we followed every tabloid lead. Hmmmm. Do you really want us to follow this stuff. Hmmm?"
BS. The major players didnt follow their instincts. There was more than enough circumstantial evidence out there to make this story legit. Particularly back in 06. Please note not many Conservative rags followed up either.
The "MSM" got beat to a legit story by a tabloid and "they" are embarrassed. Watch out for the payback National Enquirer. Its comin.
Shameful that someone... anyone with the "MSM" didnt pick this up. Yes, the downfall of the news media is all the internets fault. Right. Got it.
