29 Edwards to Walk Pickets Again

John Edwards will join striking writers on the picket line in front of Fox Studios on Thursday, in advance of participating in that evening's Democratic presidential debate at the Kodak Theater.

All three remaining presidential candidates have released statements in support of writers, but only Edwards has walked pickets. In November, he spoke to striking writers in front NBC's Burbank studios and attended a rally in Manhattan later that month.

Edwards has singled out Fox News and News Corporation as examples of the perils of media conglomerates, although his campaign is casting his participation in Thursday's pickets as part of an overall effort to save middle class jobs.

Edwards plans to attend a debate watching party later in the evening.
