The media - it may be both the tawdry, but also - for much of the media - it could also be a sense of personal betrayal because so many of them, even if they were for others, were very invested in the stories they wrote of the Edwards as the perfect couple - and Edwards as a golden boy with all Clinton's savy and without the bimbo erruptions. They were wrong on both counts and may be unhappy that they were taken in completely.
