Somebody

has told the truth about the media and John Edwards:

Both Bozarths also blamed the mainstream media for shunting the former North Carolina senator to the side.

"The media essentially tried to promote a race between race and gender instead of focusing on the ideas and the platforms of the people that have been competing for the nomination," Mr. Bozarth said, alluding to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

And like his wife, Mr. Bozarth said Edwards did more than just talk a populous message.

"He lived his principles," he said, noting his work on addressing poverty, "and the rest of them didn't."
