Biggest concern from the press seems to be that they were scooped by a local newspaper. White House / the Right's response should be that the Left and the Media are more upset about the timing of statement and not the well being of the victim.

Oh my God! I shot Harry. Call a press conference then get poor Harry a doctor.

It just blows my mind how much of a non-story this really is.

First - similar hunting accidents happen far more often than most folks realize.

Second - the news was reporting that the "victim" was in intensive care - since when?

Next we have the "why didn't the White House tell the world? bunch.... Ummm.. legal proceedure was followed - the local sheriff was immediately notified and the incedent was quickly investigated/Cheney questioned.

What's witht he $7 special bird stamp? I didn't know Texas required such a stamp. Apparently, Cheney hunts at that ranch for quail regularly - shouldn't he know if he needs a special stamp? States that I am familiar with don't require a special stamp to hunt quail - just a hunting license which Cheney apparently had..... BUt again, this is a non-story.

The initial reports by the useless idiots in the media - that buckshot was used.... ummmm... that's just stupid.

Real reporters don't wait for stories to be phoned in to them.

I want to know: Just how long was it before Bill Clinton held a press conference to announce that he shot a load on Monica Lewinskys dress?

The real reason the mediots are angry is this exposes them for what they are. They aren't "journalists," they are pretty (and in some cases not so pretty) faces that pass on what they're spoon-fed.

The "almighty" press must not be trifled with.
