Media Bad Boy

Dick Cheney rules! I've been enjoying the press coverage of Cheney's hunting misfortune immensely. I've seen some in the media actually go into "convulsions" over the fact that Cheney really doesn't care what they think.

The media is an interesting bunch. Some are fair and balanced, while others, obviously hold grudges and try to create controversy out of nothing. With all of the conspiracy theories out there about Dick Cheney, it's comical to watch some of the news programs actually feed into some of those. Was Cheney drunk on Jack Daniels? Was Halliburton somehow a factor? Did oil stocks rise because of it? Was this a deliberate distraction for something even bigger? The liberals are having a fun time inventing new "fairy-tales" about a much hated conservative VP.

Brit Hume (from Fox News) finally won the honor of sitting down with Cheney and helped put things into perspective (Download Here/Right Click, Save Target As, Desktop). I was somewhat dissappointed with the humor that came out of the event. I think that it was so good that many of the comedians didn't know what to do with it.
