Our mainstream media asleep again

By Steve Benen, commenting on Dick Cheney claiming that his office is not part of the Bush administration in order to exempt it from a presidential order regulating the handling of classified national security information:

Cheney started holding himself out as some kind of unaccountable, pseudo-fourth branch of government way back in February. The blogs noticed, and explained how crazy the argument is, but the media yawned... It's interesting -- and if anyone can explain the reasoning, I'm all ears -- but the same important story that was ignored in February is suddenly fascinating in June. The same questions that bloggers asked then are unexpectedly interesting to everyone else now... Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted to see everyone asking, "Does Cheney really think this"? But I am curious: what took the non-blogging political world so long?
