Something along the line of "The Vice President was involved in a hunting accident, the guy he shot is in good condition condition, and that the Cheney family was praying for a full and speedy recovery."

Sure they could have done that

But the fact they didn't doesn't excuse the childish reaction from many in the DC Press Corp

They were waaaaaaaaay out of line and VERY unprofessional

Calling Scott McClelland a jerk is not professional .. nor very mature

Now we have a story about the story, with a life of its own because it lends itself to endless speculation

The media would have still done that if the news was release right away .. actually, it would probably have been a lot worse because the complete facts and status were not know at the time

And if you think I'm wrong .. try watching Chris Matthews show

Well it's late and I'm off to bed

On this, Cheney's press staff behaved in even less of a professional manner, and I disagree with you, the press is behaving in concert with the issue, the problem is that the Cheney press people created the issue.

You are wrong.

The Vice President of the United States was involved in a shooting incident, and that's news...even when the people involved don't run a country.

There are people in place to handle things like this, they mishandled it by not trying to control the press reaction, and now, you think that the press should control itself.
