So Who's the Tabloid?

B-Daddy here. I have a little noted aftermath of the twin scandals surrounding Big Foot and the Edwards-Hunter affair. Bill Keller of the NYT had this to say about not publishing anything about the Edwards affair:

the "hold-your-nose quality about The Enquirer" contributed to the lack of interest by The Times.

Why do I find this funny? On August 14, the New York Times published their Big Foot story and played it straight. The Enquirer? They ignored it. In the end, whose story was true?

Further irony is that eye and ear witnesses claim Bigfoot has himself a terrible stench.

So it would seem the the NYT was quite capable of holding its nose for one story but not the other.
