Now, had it been Cheney accidentally shot by Harry, I would be concerned about a 14-hour delay in reporting - do you agree with that?
There was a delay in reporting the incident to the news media, but the Secret Service knew about it right away. The news media don't have a constitutional right to instant notification of anything newsworthy.
Cheney says the delay was because they wanted to be sure the information released was accurate. That may be true, but if the real reason was to stick it to the media, that's fine with me. The media didn't mind being manipulated by the Clintons all the time.
Where was the media outrage about the delays in revealing important information about Vince Foster's supposed suicide? These are also the people who kept mum about Juanita Broaddrick during the Senate trial of President Clinton in 1999, who timed release of old news about GWB's 1976 DUI arrest for maximum impact on the 2000 election, who reported that Gore had carried Florida while the voting places were still open in the Florida panhandle, etc. This is a trivial issue in my opinion.
