The problem I see with the media...
Suppose the victim in Cheney's shooting had died? Would they harp for a few days and just forget about it? They never get tot he bottom of a story. Nothing is ever resolved. For example, we now know there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but the media let the White House change the reasons for invasion. Now, we are talking about purple fingers and elections and a new democracy. Spying on Americans? They report it and then forget about it. They need to learn to investigate a story until they get the answers. The people deserve no less. Perhaps that is not their job??

But that's a good point.

And some things just do down the memory hole. Like the anthrax mailer.
