WATCHDOGS ARE SLEEPING
Partisan TV pundit participation in the RNC's attack on Kerry is perhaps to be expected, but they were not the only media figures to simply pass on the Republican allegations without examination....
Embarrassingly, Dicks had to explain to Woodruff that most of the weapons "votes" weren't individual votes at all, but a single vote on the Pentagon's 1991 appropriations bill. Woodruff responded with surprise to this information: "Are you saying that all these weapons systems were part of one defense appropriations bill in 1991?"...
Unfortunately, Hume failed to raise an important follow-up: Why was Cheney now criticizing Kerry for having essentially the same position Cheney advocated back in 1991?
(FAIR)
