Russert showing a clip of Hillary complaining about how secretive the administration is and how they don't level with the American people.
If someone on that panel doesn't talk about how the Clinton administration didn't level with people about the Travel office firings, Whitewater, Chinese being given technology illegally, etc.
Gregory: We did miss some empathy this week for the VP. We missed that a little bit. (ya think). I was pleased to see the VP speak publicly this week.
Also ........ Vince Foster's death (I can't say suicide) .. Vince's office was looted, and I've heard 30 hours went by before they even alerted the media, the delay of the clinton Blind Trust, and the biggy - for me - is the suspicious surgery clinton had in Florida - that was no ankle surgery!!!
For hillary clinton to step before the camera and accuse President Bush of having the most secretive Adm. ever only elaborates the love affair the media has with the Democrats.
I didn't watch it all but what I saw was Gregory trying to undo damage to his image. He never anticipated how his childish fit would play in the "real world".
Someone made a post about the MSM not dropping the Cheney story this week and linked it to Drudge (sorry, I don't remember who the FReeper was and can't find the post right now).
Here's the link to the story on Drudge.
MAIN PRESS PLANS ANOTHER WEEK OF CHENEY SHOOTING COVERAGE
The Drudge Report ^ | Feb 19, 2006 | Drudge

If the nation's top magazine have the pulse of the country -- get ready for another exhaustive week of exhaustive Cheney shooting coverage.
This just in! Both TIME and NEWSWEEK are planning covers of Cheney for high impact on newsstands Monday, with each magazine rolling out top staff bylines and thousands of words on the hunting incident: TIME: With deep reporting by John Cloud, Mike Allen and Matthew Cooper/ Washington, Cathy Booth Thomas and Patricia Kilday Hart/ Austin, and Hilary Hylton. NEWSWEEK urgently brings in its big investigative guns: Evan Thomas, Michael Isikoff, Daniel Klaidman, Richard Wolffe, Holly Bailey, Mark Hosenball and Eleanor Clift in Washington and Carol Rust in Texas.
NEWSWEEK's Jonathan Alter essays that media budget cuts and shifting news priorities have contributed to the public being in the dark about Cheney's ways and means.
The magazine's editor Mark Whitaker defends his decision to push for another week of Cheney-Shooting coverage: "The reason we ultimately decided to stick with a cover is not because of the hunting incident itself-although we did turn up some new details that you might not have read elsewhere-but because of what it says about the mysterious world of the most powerful vice president of recent times."
...Or what it says about the timing and state of print publications in the slick click age of information and news cycles.

Here are links to the Newsweak article. I suppose Eleanor will be on F&F tomorrow a.m. Note the sub-title on the last one: "He peppered a man in the face, but didn't tell his boss. Inside Dick Cheney's dark, secretive mind-set—and the forces that made it that way."
Cheney's Secret World Behind The Shooting Furor (anthrax exposure)
Newsweek ^ | 2/19/06 | Newsweek

NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A few weeks after 9/11, Newsweek has learned, Vice President Dick Cheney worried that he and his family and his staff might have been exposed in an anthrax attack. According to knowledgeable former officials, a mysterious letter turned up at the vice president's mansion. (A former senior law-enforcement official recalled that sensors went off.) The alarm turned out to be false. Still, to be safe, Cheney and his entourage began taking Cipro, the powerful antibiotic. The story was hushed up.
