The MSM, especially the White House press corp is constantly on the attack towards this administration. They try to set them up, they make wild accusations, derogatory comments and their hatred is visceral.
Trust me, they'd be just as ballistic over this event if Cheney had told them immediately. There is nothing Cheney could say to satisfy them short of offering to resign.
Screw them!
I agree .. this fiasco is more about the old media not getting the story first .. that's it. Like they are entitled to get the info first .. ridiculous.
I think I understand what's behind this bizarre hypercoverage of a non-story behind a story. The real issue that the media is obsessed with is that the VP injured someone with an EVIL DANGEROUS G-U-N which nobody should really have in the first place, and if they do have one they should keep it locked up and unloaded at all times, since obviously if even the VP can't handle one safely, certainly no average citizen could. However, they have come to grasp that any attack based on the G-U-N issue will backfire bigtime. So they have diverted all their energy to the "Cheney handled the media aspect poorly" non-story, as a back door way of keeping the tale of the horrible G-U-N accident on the front pages, while not printing or uttering a single word that could be used as evidence that they are pushing an anti-gun agenda.
I agree 100 percent.
