Midas Oracle .ORG » National Enquirer http://www.midasoracle.org Prediction Markets, etc. Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:24:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 NBC Nightly News ran a story on Monday nite about John Edwards’ lies. And today, the National Enquirer has new revelations. If I were John Delaney of InTrade, or a super user at HubDub, I would have a field day creating some prediction markets about the definitive demise of John Edwards. http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/08/13/john-edwards-demise/ http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/08/13/john-edwards-demise/#comments Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:46:23 +0000 Chris F.

Masse http://www.midasoracle.org/?p=8131 Continue reading →]]> So, John Edwards’ friend would pay about $180,000 each year for her —if I understand well.

What kind of R.O.I. did Fred Baron expect on that investment? That’s what the “free” Press should be asking.

]]> http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/08/06/john-edwards-non-affair/feed/ 4 The John Edwards Non-Affair gives us an opportunity to look deep into the caldron of the wisdom of crowds. http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/07/31/the-john-edwards-non-affair-3/ http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/07/31/the-john-edwards-non-affair-3/#comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 15:43:09 +0000 Chris F. Masse http://www.midasoracle.org/?p=7918 Continue reading →]]> As you all know, The National Enquirer (a supermarket tabloid which pays its informants and sometimes publishes false news) has it that John Edwards has a “love child” from one of his former assistants (all this while his wife is dying of cancer), and that the whole story is being covered up, big time.

-

Should the Wikipedia webpage on John Edwards mention that alleged scandal?

Well, the debate is raging inside Wikipedia.

Masse http://www.midasoracle.org/?p=7759 Continue reading →]]> Slate’s Jack Shafer (my favorite libertarian journalist –both small “L” and capitalized “L”):

[...] visiting the woman who recently gave birth to the out-of-wedlock child of a married campaign aide is completely OK. But meeting her at a Beverly Hills hotel in the early hours of the morning and running from tabloid reporters when approached and hiding in a hotel bathroom for 15 minutes, as the Enquirer reports Edwards did, is not completely OK. Not if he wants to avoid the hypocrite label.

Who do you trust? The Slate blogger or that blogger? I’m truly puzzled.
