Does this give you a reason to like Cheney?

I'll give you that. Would it have been a crime if it were someone else? I don't know, but I wonder.

By Cheney not saying anything, we're left to wonder. We're left to fill in the blanks. To many, including me, this is being seen as another example of people in this Administration thinking they're above the law and need not explain anything. Wrong.

There are tons of people who feel that this event is not a non-issue. 2,885 news stories on this one incident on Google News. That's a lot.

I know, and that bothers me. It's inflating nothing into something, imo, and makes an easy target for administration supporters to pick apart us "liberal whiners". I really dislike it when "my side" (whatever that means) goes off on something with such little justification.

I totally agree. There are stories out there that get so much press and get blown into a huge countrywide issue. It's confusing. It also makes me feel like anything I do could get blown up into a story on Yahoo or MSN...

Maybe there are more news outlets than actual news stories. Seems like everything is news now. Seems like all of our news places have become tabloids.

But I disagree with people out there when they say the media is liberal. That's hooey. The media is all about what's popular to criticize...
