Edwards: “I did NOT have sexual relations with THAT woman …”

What does it say about the integrity and unbiased dependability of this country’s MSM that a grocery store tabloid was all over this story, and right about it?

Dallas lawyer Fred Baron paid for John Edwards’ mistress to relocate

By GROMER JEFFERS JR. - (The Dallas Morning News)

Dallas lawyer Fred Baron told The Dallas Morning News today that he paid relocation and housing expenses for the woman that former presidential candidate John Edwards has confessed to having an affair with.

Mr. Baron, who was chairman of Mr. Edwards’ presidential campaign finance committee, said he paid money for Rielle Hunter to move from North Carolina to another location.

He said she and another campaign aide, Andrew Young, who claimed paternity of Ms. Hunter’s child, were being dogged by tabloid reporters who believed she had an affair with Mr. Edwards and fathered the child.

Mr. Baron would not say how much money he provided for the couple’s move. He said Mr. Edwards did not know about the arrangement.

“The money was purely and simply to get them out of North Carolina and to get them into a stable place,” he said. “They were unable to afford a second home. It was to give them the ability to live somewhere where they wouldn’t be harassed.”

Mr. Baron is one of the top Democratic fundraisers in the country and has been instrumental in the Texas Democratic Party’s efforts to rebuild. For Mr. Edwards’ two presidential campaigns, Mr. Baron raised millions of dollars.

Mr. Baron called the entire episode a “tragedy” and said Mr. Edwards’ interview with ABC News on Friday night would be revealing.

Meanwhile … MSNBC’s David Schuster … AKA, Keith Olbermann Lite … is whining for an apology fro Edwards and The Ex-Senator’s ‘handlers’ for lying to him and the MSM about this story they refused to cover in the first place …
