I AGREE WITH CHENEY, FOR ONCE

Defending the administration's fallacious belief linking Iraq and al-Qaida, Veep Dick Cheney bashed The New York Times in a CNBC interview, saying, "The fact of the matter is, the evidence is overwhelming. The press is, with all due respect, and there are exceptions, oftentimes lazy, oftentimes simply reports what somebody else in the press said without doing their homework."

It's called reporting what officials say without any independent verification. Had the press been doing its job, we might have never gone to war with Iraq.
