And here you are splitting hairs and being a partisan on a thread which advocates the contrary We are all partisan to some extent, some more than others, and to discard our nature while posting here is impossible. It is the unthinking and relentless partisanship that I think is objectionable, but I really don't have a good handle on how DB sees things. In any event, I still think that Cheney brilliantly outmaneuvered the MSM, again, and that the shooting in the MSM's view has turned into a matter in which the press itself is the main issue. As the press is not a popular thing in most American's eyes, this bit of vainglory has hurt it quite a bit. I don't think this is a partisan view, simply how I see things.

What I didn't like about the whole issue is that he failed to display leadership and instead opted to play it out through the ranch owner and others. If you look at that as a strategic media play as the piece I posted suggested, then it's not a failure of leadership but a clever gotcha on a different front. I don't have an opinion on whether the media strategy was intentional or a Monday-morning rationalization. It seems to me that it can reasonably be framed/spun either way. Your leadership failure is another's coup over the MSM.
