Just like the mediascum to pass up their most “newsworthy” item (imagine the hay they would make if a Bush had said that).
They would far rather miss the opportunity to report genuine newsworthy info (Obama’s crazed egomania in his own words) than to do anything that might “hurt the cause.”
They are ideologists first, and only interested in real news reporting a distant last.
You had me thinking about what a major story it was when Bush couldn't (or wouldn't) remember a single mistake he had made as president. David Gregory, who always reminded me of Lucy from the Peanuts, had a conniption over that one. At the time, I thought he should have said "apologizing to the Chinese after they knocked our plane down," but then Gregory, Thomas & co. would have blown up LexusNexus trying to recall what had happened.
Answer: They DEMANDED that he apologize to the Chinese, and then said it made him look weak when he listened to them.
