And forfeited millions more. " It’s such an easily disproved charge, Post editors should have killed the story. Back in August 2000, in fact, both the Gore campaign and the media — including the Post itself — insisted that Cheney had an ethical duty to make a total financial break with Halliburton, even insisting that he forfeit millions of dollars in future stock options that he had rightfully earned (see box). Milbank both conceded and dismissed this point in the 13th paragraph of his story, after his baseless premise had been established: “Though Cheney was under pressure to sever his future financial interest in Halliburton, conflict of interest laws did not require the sale.” Then why did Cheney face a total of 10 questions on when he would abandon his stock options from ABC’s Sam Donaldson, CBS’s Bob Schieffer, and NBC’s Tim Russert when he navigated the Sunday talk show circuit on August 27, 2000? Does Milbank think reporters who couldn’t tolerate his options would have yawned if the candidate had held on to all of his stock until after the election?"
