Media hypocrisy about the Cheney incident

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been one and a half months since I last wrote. Time really flies when you don’t want it to fly, but really drags when you want it to fly.

Anyway, I among many have observed how differently the media treat Dick Cheney and Ted Kennedy. Cheney accidentally shot his hunting buddy, and the media made a big hoopla out of it, just because Cheney’s first priority was to get medical care for the wounded and to report to the proper authorities, and not to hold a press conference. What do the media people think they are? By contrast, when Ted Kennedy drowned Mary Jo, what did he do? Even if his was an accident, which many doubt, he did not immediately seek help to rescue her nor report to the authorities. Where was the media then?
