Wallace Whiffs
On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace had an exclusive interview with Vice President Dick Cheney. For a moment it looked like he might not squander it. Wallace challenged Cheney:
A number of statements that you made in the run-up to the war in Iraq turned out not to be accurate, the administration argues, because of a worldwide intelligence failure. But I just want to ask you something about them.
You said, in the run-up to the war, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. You said we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons, and then clarified that to be “nuclear weapons capability.” You said U.S. forces will be greeted as liberators.
But then Wallace’s Fox News instincts kicked in:
I’m less interested, because I think it’s somewhat plowed ground, what you said and what you knew and all of that. I’m more interested in what you took away from the experience.
In other words, Wallace is saying: I’m not interested in whether you knowingly misled the American people. I’m interested in how you grew as a person from the experience.

The major news media have yet to show any interest in the lies and distortions of this administration. Fox is ludicrous in their toeing the line set down by the Republicans, but the rest of the media is only marginally better. Just a week ago our President lied, lied, and lied some more in his State of the Union speech, a blatant attempt to mislead Congress, which is a violation of federal law. But, that is a non-story according to the major media. I suppose the Wallace interview tells us that we can soon expect to have Bush asked in one of his very rare news conferences “how does it feel to have made a speech before Congress?”, and that will suffice for coverage.

February 7th, 2005 at 4:14 pmSomeone should tell Wallace that his job is not to be the VP’s therapist but to report the news. The news, and now it’s old news, is that Cheney-Feith-Wolfie, etc., manipulated intelligence and in many cases just made stuff up from whole cloth.
February 7th, 2005 at 4:14 pmMy immediate reaction caused a schism in my brain as “WTF?” and “What did you expect?” arose simultaneously. I suppose I’m destined for a bed in Bedlam now.

Why didn’t anyone’s head explode?
