My point is that as a FReeper, I expect you to be more discenring. ;)
When MSM says something, the appropriate first reaction: "It's a lie, can I disprove it quickly", then "where is the proof?" then "maybe it's true".
From your post, I gathered that Matthews did NOT say WHERE he claimed that Cheney and Edwards met, right?
My impression was that CM just CLAIMED they had met, then you, on your own, doing a quick research went to Edwards' site, and found that he gave the intro for Pres Bush at a prayer breakfast, and jumped to conclusion, that is where Cheney and Edwards have met.
If my impression is wrong, please correct it, otherwise just be more sceptical when any of the "usual suspects" make any claims.
Chris Mathews stated: "Just in...it appears Cheney and Edwards did meet prior at a prayer breakfast in Washington." and then he went back to looking for another zinger to take the zing out of.
