Vetting is a process of examination and evaluation, generally referring to performing a background check on someone before offering him or her employment.
As I see it, examination and evaluation is what should be done of candidates for public office. I don’t care what the media says, they’re only one source, and as you point out, a biased one.
Heh... well good luck with your evaluation via the MSM examination... I’m sure that you will choose the right candidate according to their analysis...
