NBC continues to report on Edwards haircut, ignores Romney campaign's makeup purchases

SUMMARY: Regarding the Mitt Romney campaign's $300 makeup expenditure, NBC News' First Read blog advised readers on July 17 to "look for [John] Edwards supporters to use this as a test to see if the MSM [mainstream media] covers Romney as harshly as Edwards was." Despite that admonition, a July 19 Today report on candidate expenditures mentioned Edwards' $400 haircuts, but not Romney's makeup purchases.
