There is reason that this is a big story. The national press is throwing a hissy fit at being "left out" of the story. The press is there to "make news", and they need material to make news from. Is it a news story? Sure. Is it a big deal news story? Not really.
Here is why the story didn't get reported sooner, or to the national media. Cheney let the owner of the ranch decide what to do. She thought about it and came to the conclusion that she had two options: A. Report it to the national media and have 8000 people - helicopters, trucks, camera crews, circus performers and all - descend on her ranch. B. Report it to the local media a little later once the accident victim has been sent to the hospital. Given the choice, which option would you prefer? >On the surface, yes, but if you watched the press conference the guy >was downright evasive on why it took 22 hours to tell the President >and why they released the news via a private citizen who told a local >newspaper. > >Why is the Whitehouse making it a big deal when, as you point out, it >shouldn't be? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:197013 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
