Well, they've released a photo showing Edwards holding a baby, who they claim is Edwards' love child with Rielle Hunter. As the Enquirer notes, the location can be confirmed as the Beverly Hilton hotel based on the drapes in the background of the photo and further confirms the Enquirer's story about their encounter with Edwards that ended when Edwards ducked into a men's room to avoid further questions about why he was at the hotel.
Will the Los Angeles Times now deem the story newsworthy? Or, will they, like other big media outlets, continue to embargo the story because they've decided that it isn't worth our time to read about Edwards conduct and marital infidelities?
My thoughts and prayers go out to Elizabeth Edwards and her children. She's done nothing but support Edwards at every turn, even as she was experiencing a recurrence of cancer. May she take John for every last penny.

UPDATE:
So far there's nothing from the Los Angeles Times, which previously determined that the paper would say nothing on the subject of Edwards' trip to the Beverly Hilton. The News and Observer has nothing either.
However, bloggers are reporting on this, and it further underscores the fact that the public can and will continue to rely more on alternative news sources because they have had it with the media elites who determine what stories should fly and which ones get buried.
Outside the Beltway and DBKP also weighs in.
UPDATE:
Apologies to Andrew Young. Confused the Young involved in this case, with the Andrew Young who was a former Mayor of Atlanta and civil rights leader (ht: anonymous emailer). The Andrew Young involved here is a former member of Edwards' presidential campaign efforts.
UPDATE:
Hot Air wonders whether the Enquirer cooked up the photo to sex up their already confirmed reporting that Edwards was at the Beverly Hilton. Specifically, how exactly did they get the camera in the room with Edwards and the baby?
