In response to a few of his readers, The Atlantic‘s Marc Ambinder tries to explain the political press’ inexplicable coverage of John Edwards. In the process he proves said readers’ points.

I don’t understand how people like this manage to get paid for writing about politics. Not only are Ambinder’s points about Edwards a complete hash, he also doesn’t understand that when you update a blog post, you make it clear that you are updating it. So much for journalism, dude.

Update (6pm PDT by matt) (see how easy that is Ambinder?):

Jamison Foser at Media Matters has more.
