See No Evil (except Cheney)

A quick look at what's going on in the world reveals the Iranians pursuing nuclear weapons and the U.N. and Europe seemingly unable to deter them with diplomacy (VDH explains why this is of profound importance).  We have new Saddam tapes of himself discussing WMD attacks on Washington D.C. as well as  attempts to hide weapons from inspectors.  We have new revelations about Able Danger and how Clinton-era policies impeded our ability to intercept the 9-11 attacks.  We have Al Gore getting paid perhaps a quarter-million dollars or more to give one of the most seditious and reprehensible speeches, apologizing to Arabs for just about any anti-American charge that can be imagined.  And we have Muslims killing 15 Christians in Nigeria, as they continue their cartoon jihad. 
 
So with all this important news going on which story should we lead with?  If you're the MSM the answer is clear.  My visit to MSNBC.COM this morning displayed the following lead story:
 
 
 
Amazing. 
 
Because the Vice President won't drop everything after a friend is seriously injured, to address a bunch of over inflated egos who live in a bubble, they ignore all that is happening in the world to report on Cheney's "secretiveness". 
 
After all, how dare he not answer questions from the likes of Helen Thomas and David Gregory when they want to and on their terms.  Doesn't Cheney understand how important the elites at the White House Press Corps are?  Why is he being so "secretive" and not talking to them? 
 
Perhaps it might be because he has better ways to spend his time, than answering questions from sophists tha are trying to make a scandal out of an accident.  Why doesn't the media write about hunting safety courses and how important they are to prevent accidents?  Nah.  Let's write about the VP instead and accuse him of being secretive because he won't acknowlege us.
 

Jack Kelly's weekly Pittsburgh Post Gazette column reviews the evidence Able Danger and brings the story up to date. Kelly concludes: "It's unclear why the Bush administration is covering up [Able Danger], since the suppression of Able Danger occurred on President Clinton's watch. But it is clear there is a cover-up. One would think a Washington press corps obsessing about a hunting accident in Texas would be more curious about it."

I think that's an observation that broadly applies to events of the past week including the administration's approval of the sale of six American ports to the United Arab Emirates, Al Gore's giving one of the most disgusting speeches in American history in a hotbed of Islamism, and the restarting of uranium enrichment in Iran combined with Iran's bald terrorist threats.

UPDATE:  Michelle Malkin covers the media's Cheney Derangement Syndrome and also links to video of Powerline's Scott Johnson's appearance on CNN's Reliable Sources to discuss what he calls the "deranged sophmoric hysteria" of the leftist media.

UPDATE2:  The liberals in the media criticized Cheney's decision to talk to Fox News and not to them, because Fox News would be a more friendly venue (never mind that they have the most viewers).  Expose The Left has video of a Fox News segment where media critic Neal Gabler suggests that Cheney shot his friend on purpose to distract the public from the Abu Gharib story.  I won't dignify that allegation with a response, but so much for the idea that Fox News only gives one side of the debate.
