Lynne Cheney Falsely Attacks PBS Documentary As ‘One-Sided,’ ‘Predictable,’ And ‘A Hit Job’

During her appearance on MSNBC today, Lynne Cheney attempted to discredit Cheney’s Law, the new Frontline documentary exploring her husband’s “secretive, and often bitter battle to expand the power of the presidency,” calling it “predictable,” “one-sided” and “a hit job.” Cheney charged that the film, which premieres tonight, has a “complete and total lack of objectivity”:

A piece like this, which is the second in a series. The complete and total lack of objectivity in this piece. The fact that no long form documentary is being prepared, or will ever be prepared that would show it from the other point of view. This is a one-sided, it’s a, what do you call it, a hit job.

Watch it at link~

While Cheney is complaining about Frontline’s supposed “one-sided” report, she neglects to mention that neither Vice President Cheney nor his Chief of Staff David Addington “agreed to be interviewed” for the documentary. Their point of view is expressed, however, by former Office of Legal Counsel lawyer John Yoo, who had an integral hand in formulating the legal basis for Cheney’s policies.

Additionally, Ms. Cheney is demonstrating an exceptionally weak memory when she claims “no long form documentary…will ever be prepared that would show it from the other point of view,” considering that just this past weekend Fox News aired an hour-long hagiography titled “Dick Cheney: No Retreat.”

Who gave Cheney’s “point of view” to Fox? Dick Cheney.

There is a continuous one sided long form report that has been going on for 12 years now...

It's called Fox News...

this is his legacy

Although he's cruel and smarmy
And wants to send our army
Into Iraaaaaan....

Thank you, thank you.

I always have and I always will.

over the place).

any "piece" which does not lie about conservatives (in other words puts them in a good light) is a hit job. I would suggest you blow me bitch, but I have scruples and I have no idea where those foul lips of yours have been.

If ya don't like the tone, then why did you fucking cretins change it?

"I know you got a job Ms. Cheney but your husband's heart problem is complicating".

or trying to sell her book of the reasons of why they are destined to lead..

everyone knows npr is liberal media..... </sarcasm>

that he only occasionally bites the heads off small animals. Do you think she meant to scare him?

Thanks babylonsister and thank you Lynne Cheney.

so he's got nobody to blame about the one-sidedness but himself.

I might add.
Shut up Lynn, nobody cares what you think, for reasons unknown, you have a bias!

Drop dead you ghoul! :nuke:

And his Theory of Relativity was wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein.

Leave Dick alooooooonnnnnne!

And if it bothered her so much, she could have gotten him to "agree to be interviewed".

cheney is so one-sided, preDICtable, and a Hit Job! Wow, Dead ON!
