Reporter
Kyle Cheney is a reporter for POLITICO’s Campaign Pro.
Cheney came to POLITICO in June 2012 to cover health care and spent two years covering the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and its political implications – from the Supreme Court decision upholding the law to the rollout of HealthCare.gov and the coverage gains that ensued. He came to POLITICO after five years reporting on Massachusetts government and politics for the State House News Service, an independent wire service. Coverage, which appeared daily in The Boston Globe, Boston Herald and others, included the implementation of a near-universal health care law; the indictment, trial and conviction of the state’s third felonious House speaker in a row; the rise and reelection of Gov. Deval Patrick; and all matters of public policy.
Cheney, a New York native and unabashed Yankees fan, graduated from Boston University in 2007 with a journalism degree after a semester as editor of BU's student paper, The Daily Free Press.

LETTER: Good coverage is worthwhile
Written by - April 19, 2007 12:00 am
n Adan Berkowitz’s disdain for the very media that gives him a voice is an alarmingly narrow-minded generalization. (”A campus in grief distracted by media attack,” April 18, p. 9). While sensationalism is all too prevalent in certain segments of the press, to ignore examples of remarkable, in-depth coverage of the Virginia Tech massacre is equally egregious.
Tragedies such as this are the rare moments in U.S. history when the country collectively holds its breath, anxiously waiting for the newest fact or detail to emerge. In these cases, we rely on reporters on the ground to ask tough questions and capture the horror and pain that sent shock waves around the world.
It surprises me that amid the supposed “swarm” of reporters marauding like vultures on the Virginia Tech campus, Berkowitz failed to notice the intrepid coverage by the Roanoke Times, a local outlet that has the most comprehensive, to-the-minute coverage and became a virtual bible for out-of-town reporters. The paper currently features a moving tribute to the victims on its main web page.
Berkowitz also curiously missed the fantastic USA Today coverage, and even his hometown Boston Globe made a fine showing.
To be sure, the Talking Heads do have a way of obscuring issues and turning them into partisan talking points, and they certainly make a lot of noise. But they are hardly representative of the media as a whole, which, at least on this story, performed masterfully.

After viewing this miscreant's photo I'm left wondering if that's just prepubescent facial hair on his chin or is it also combined with a purple beard of acne scars. Nothing says looser like a whining libtard who set out to get arrested, succeeded and then blames “The Man”.
Look at that.
The picture of a determined totalitarian.
Everyone must be assimilated, everyone must conform.
