Will the media EVER call out Dick for his blatent, lame CYA tour?

[themaguffin]

Seriously, this is unacceptable the way he and the GOP get an unprecedented platform defending (with lies) their incompetent and corrupt policies.
Absolutel bullshit.

1. Well, in some respects, the media is complicit with BushCo torture.

They could have exposed the heinous crimes Bush and Cheney were committing but chose not to. Plus, do you really expect CorpMedia to cover these sociopaths when they find this funny?--



Imagine, a POTUS who lied us into an illegal invasion, killing (now) almost 4,000 US troops and over a million Iraqis, who then jokes about "not finding the weapons" he lied about but used as the reason for his invasion, while the DC press corps looks on and laughs?

I never thought I'd see this happening in my country...

2. KO, Rachel and Tweety have.

Unfortunately that's only about 10% of the media.

3. They will thank him for allowing them to create more "news"

The MSM are paid through advertising which requires a constant pull on viewership numbers. They are not a public service group. A former VP launching attacks on a sitting President is news and they will play it out until it look s old. A storied battle between Old Man Potter and the One will be played out as long as it can create interest, which it does.

4. I never understand the constant demand that the media MUST tell us how to think.

I demand the exact opposite: let Cheney speak, and let me judge him for myself.
