There sure is a lot of news coverage of an alleged affair between South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley and blogger Will Folks. Jim has a wrap-up here, but just a quick thought: One blogger puts out a statement that he had an affair with a candidate, and it’s picked up by everyone — while the National Enquirer prints a story, and the story gets ignored by everyone. I assume these media outlets who’ve picked up the story have performed the same level of due diligence as the Enquirer, including lie-detector tests, etc.
