Edwards Returns to Russert Show
RALEIGH — After a year-and-a-half absence from the NBC News program “Meet the Press,” presidential candidate John Edwards returned to the show last Sunday. The North Carolina senator had received poor reviews of his performance on May 5, 2002, under the interrogation of host Tim Russert. NBC had tried for months to get Edwards on the program again.
