Media double standard: Edwards -vs- Giuliani

When Giuliani divorced in 2002, it was revealed that he was making $8 million a year in speaking engagements and more recently was reported still making over $2 million a year in speaking engagements, yet the media for the most part has ignored this opportunism as Rudy profits from 9-11.

Yet the media has gone mad over John Edwards receiving a $55,000 fee for a January 2006 speech at the University of California-Davis, with practically no mention of the millions that Giuliani has made doing the same exact thing, public speaking. So Edwards can't earn $50,000 from a speech, but Giuliani can earn millions a year from many speaking events?? When Giuliani's fortunes are mentioned right wing hack Tucker Carlson is quick to justify it because "Rudy is selling talent" .

This is another example of the MSM attacking Democratic candidates for anything they can possibly hype.
