your liberal media

I'm actually slightly amazed at the anti-administration slant the Amarillo Globe-Republican is giving to the Cheney-got-a-gun story. I mean, obviously the Panhandle Truth Squad will be here to note the oddity of the turned-away deputy and the fact that the news got out much faster the last time a sitting VP shot a dude, despite the fact that we now use the internet and satellites and not horses to deliver messages.

But at the end of the day, a newspaper worshiping the false god of objectivity ought to be left with this-is-apparently- a-tragic-accident- with-no-solid- evidence-of-any- wrongdoing-yet. I wouldn't blame the AG-R if they framed it that way.

But, no. The Ghostly Voice^TM is all "gang that can't shoot straight" and "bungled operation" and "nonsensical excuses" on this morning's opinion page. And for two days the front page has headlined Harry Wittington as Cheney's "victim". (But, really, aren't we all?)

Not that we're complaining about the slant of the coverage. But, seriously, what's up? Are the editors driven into madness with the realization that, my god, it could have been Our Buddy Boone?
