The good news is: If this is the biggest issue the press weasels have to go into a feeding frenzy over then we're probably doing pretty well. I actually caught the interview I thought it was tough yet reasonble with Brit's trademark aplomb.

Compare with B&H's softball 60 minutes interview widely credited with saving Bill's candidacy. Now that's an interview of Bonnie and Clyde by the MSM.

P.S. isn't Jack Cafferty just another Andy Rooney minus the charm, intelligence and sex appeal? Plus, the guy has nothing on his resume worthy of anything beyond a local weatherman. To call him a putz would be an insult to feminine anatomy.

Who was he supposed to be interviewed by, that drunk SOB Cafferty?

I like Brit's remark though. Tell CNN to put some ice on it.

Those boneheads in the MSM are just as bad as the socialist liberals up at Univ of Washington. Spoiled little kids.

Mommy, Mommy, why didn't I get the interview? Bwaaaahhhhhh!

The worst quote I read in the article was US Senator Frank (I got back in the Senate by illegal means)"Lout"enberg. Where does he think he gets of weighing in on this?

No self-respecting man would have taken the Senate seat the way he did! He is gagging me.....please!!!!!!! He's freaking 82 too! Make way for new blood in the Senate dude!


The MSM just got outhustled by Fox, and now I guess they are for passing legislation that no news outlet should deserve an exclusive...unless it is theirs!!!!!!!

Bwaaaaaahhhhh! Send them some cheese!

Yesterday the WSJ ran an editorial, making fun of the press for the contrived feeding frenzy over the Cheney shooting accident. Today the WSJ ran a Peggy Noonan article on the subject that suggests that Bush will dump Cheney and appoint someone who will be able to run for President in 2008. Since Noonan refers to the potential candidate as "he", we can only assume that she does not consider Condeleeza Rice in that category. Noonan also suggests that this move could cause more problems than solutions for the administration, since it would definitely run into trouble among Senate 2008 hopefuls and their supporters (John McCain and his cabal).

I TOLD YOU ALL SO ON AN EARLIER THREAD. FOX NEWS IS THE MOUTHPIECE OF THE RIGHT WINGERS AND WILL NOT APPROACH THE CHENEY IMPEACHMENT ISSUE OVER THIS ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A GOP LAWYER.

Choosing FOX just made the media even more apoplectic

I guess they didnt LISTEN to what he said...
He stated quite clearly that they are just jealous they didn't get the story first, and now the idiots walked in and proved him right.

I think that was an excellent answer. It skirted very nicely the fact that FOX leans to the right.

"Now that he feels forced to talk, he wants to restrict the discussion to a friendly news outlet, guaranteeing no hard questions from the press corps," Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said in a statement.

Democrats taking up the cry of the media.

The MSM and the Democratic Party - two peas in a pod.

Lest we forget, it was announced at CPAC last week and reported that the '06 Republican Strategy included bypassing mainstream media to get the Republican message out.

The shooting certainly wasn't part of any "GOP message" , but to jump to the demands of old media would have been completely contrary to that idea. And the VP would be more than happy to comply with that part of the plan.

The prima donna media is upset they were cheated out of their "face in the camera" time.


HORRAY for the VP for by-passing the mediots.

this incident exposses the WH press corps for the irrelevent buffoons that they are.

LOL, actually, the LATimes could have stopped at

Critics Slam Cheney

and keep that on file for easy access. They are just pinging away for any chance to slam him on anything and they are like kids at Christmas with this tragedy that has happened, the accidental shooting, and they feel free to bash away.

MSNBC statistically ZERO viewer ratings.

CNN a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar distant third in a two man race.

CNN is also prone to spin to the left because they are a repackaging video source for its foreign outlets. IOW CNN bundles news for the market spin required of an anti-american world.

FNC equals viewers period.

It was unfortunate that Dick Cheney had to go and shoot a lawyer. Really.
He gets a lot of criticism for waiting several hours to tell the public about it.
I wonder how it would be if he were a Democrat, would he have spoken up any quicker?

This items looks at that possibility.
