Who runs all these news outlets? Corporations. They serve the shareholders, and the shareholders do not equal the people at large. These corporations exist, first and foremost, to make a profit.
Sometimes the truth is not profitable. Sometimes the truth is downright unprofitable to the shareholders. This is probably why they would rather cover Anna Nicole Smith, a big ratings getter, than cover something "boring" like a failing public education system or collapsing inner-city neighborhoods.

I think Reid & Co. saw the whole thing cratering because Edwards had already dropped out |

Edwards did say that. He said Fox had no intention of being "fair and balanced"... |
