Does this give you a reason to like Cheney?

Yesterday, I told Ralphie that the 2 ways the Bush Administration was going to get this story off of the front pages was to talk about bird flu or broadcast footage of the Christian Sciene Monitor journalist hostage. Both were 'headlines' on CNN.com within the last 12 hours replacing the Cheney story.

This is the current headline on CNN.com right now:

Iraqi TV ads appeal for U.S. hostage's release

This was the headline before I went to bed at 10:30pm est:

Crisis meeting as bird flu spreads

And I don't think they are coincidences. The media and the Bush Administration are corrupt.

Funny you should say that, considering that the media tends to lean very much to the left. In general, the media (particularly CNN) is focused on ripping down the Bush Administration and Republicans in general. And they wonder why Fox News gets better ratings...

I remind you that the Clinton Administrations had more investigations into it than any other administration in American history. Now that's a "culture of corruption".

I completely disagree. The Right paints the media as 'Liberal' whenever the media says anything they disagree with. The Right is forever the victims in everything, so innocent, don't pick on us we don't deserve it... Yeah.

And, I'd love to hear an argument from Bush defenders that has nothing to do with the Clintons. I don't think they can. Does this mean that if a Dem gets in next that we can blame Bush for everything for 4-8 years? Oh goody!

The right has the victim mentality? Interesting.

As far as bias in the media, this came out not too long ago, from UCLA -

Yes, numerous investigations at the taxpayers expense to the tune of millions of dollars. All but the last one, led absolutely nowhere. The last one led to a blowjob.

Care to compare that to the investigations of Scooter, Cheney, Delay, Frist, Abramoff, Cunningham, and a whole bunch of others?

Culture of corruption indeed.
