Life Imitates Men in Black

Many people are commenting about how traditional media went into a partisan tank for John Edwards regarding his "love child" story. The National Enquirer had the story while traditional "old media" giants like The New York Times sat on their hands. The movie Men In Black had the truth back in 1997 (quotes via IMDB.com):
[after telling Jay that they're going to check the "hot sheets," Kay pulls up to a newsstand and buys a pile of supermarket tabloids]
Jay: *These* are the hot sheets?
Kay: Best investigative reporting on the planet. But go ahead, read the New York Times if you want. They get lucky sometimes.
