Well, you knew this would happen. The media always do this. Remember when Howard Dean was riding high and the press was full of how "conservative" he was? Bozell compares the reception Cheney got - "conservative" seemed to be his real first name - with the Edwards press, which doesn't ever mention how LIBERAL he is but rather his "millworker father" (pssssst: the guy was the PLANT MANAGER) and how "young" and "vibrant" and blah, blah, blah. So wouldn’t any journalist objectively looking at fact say Edwards is as "hard left" as Cheney was "hard right"? Yes. Instead, the use of the L-word to describe Edwards was always attributed as a desperately negative Republican attack line, not the truth. ABC’s Kate Snow said Bush and Cheney were cordial to Edwards, and then "it went downhill from there," as the GOP "tore into" Edwards by accurately stating he’s a liberal.
