Mainstream Media Bias Alert, Dick Cheney Edition

Here’s a journalist whining that Dick Cheney has “changed this debate in a way that has made it much, much harder to close Guantanamo, which the President is already committed to doing.” How dare he!

Later, she added, “Cheney really did damage to the effort to keep our country secure by turning this into a political issue.”

She’s worried that Republicans are turning Guantanamo into a political issue? Where has she been for the last several years while lefties were using Gitmo as a mantra to denigrate the Bush administration?

Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper says that by pointing out that we are weaker now, Cheney is “emboldening our enemies.” Where was Mr. Cooper when Harry Reid was declaring the war in Iraq was lost? Where was he when John Murtha was accusing American Marines of cold-blooded murder? Did he think that any of the comments made by lefties were ever “emboldening" to our enemies?
