It's SEE BS, not like it is a serious or credible source of Information!
WOULD YOU RATHER GO HUNTING WITH DICK CHENEY,
ARE DRIVE ACROSS A BRIDGE WITH TED KENNEDY ?

Then immediately in the next sentence they print: "Attorney-turned-blogger, Alan Dershowitz speculated: "What is the most likely thing to happen during a 14-hour delay that is worth the negative publicity?"
They neglect to mention that medical treatment was provided immediately and that the sheriff was promptly notified.
But CBS is able to bring up a 43 year ago DWI charge.
"By week's end, mainstream media interest in the Cheney story had waned, but the battle raged on in cyberspace."

Because they were finally forced to admit it is a non story and Cheney told the truth and did the right thing. Prior to that they were having the same collective hissy fit as the lib bloggers had and continue to have.
The internet keeps them from making up their own lies- but they can use the remarks of anti-Republican bloggers to broadcast those lies anyway by citation.
"might have" ... damn. They "might have" won in 2000, 2002, 2004
I'd sure hate to live in a bizarro world where "might have" is as good as it gets.
The OLD Media...
Sitting in armchairs waiting for handouts not the best way to get scoops
Members of the elite White House press corps this week have acted more like animals that have been kept in captivity for so long that they cant find news unless it is forced down their open gullets at a daily press briefing.
The Cheney hunting accident story embarrassingly revealed this fact, which probably explains the greater-than-normal anger and outrage of White House correspondents over the last few days.
Why werent we told? has been the refrain, not How did we miss that story?
The White House press corps does very little news gathering, if by that we mean beating the bushes to find out things.
Instead, they sit in a comfortable auditorium and wait to be told things.
Did Mary mapes write this? Sounds like her work
Just because we have no evidence it doesnt make it wrong.
First, the entire MSM gets scooped by a "Podunk" local newspaper.
Next, they get a refresher class in basic responsible journalism by that same newspaper. (The Corpus Christi Times-Call)
Finally, they get so frustrated with the whole thing that CBS is actually making BLOGGERS a credible source......
ROFLMAO!!!
Maybe the MSM would be better off completely dropping all mention of the accident and hoping it just goes away. That bunch of stiffs have shot themselves in the foot so many times over the last week, there aren't any aiming points left below their crotch.
This idiot must think all hunting jaunts are planned by Martha Stewart and Miss Manners.
Note the skewed view of media prowess. This is nonsense.
With the sheriff on site at the Armstrong ranch within the hour after the incident, if alcohol had in any way been deemed a contributing factor, an entirely-timely evaluation of Cheney's BAC could have been taken, irrespective of some media outcry.
In a guy the body mass of Cheney, one beer might have been worth .017 a half hour later, but after two and a half hours his BAC would have returned to .00. (See charts below.)

If Cheney's BAC had been evaluated immediately prior to the incident, it would have been zero.
