I thought I'd just keep with the World Cup feel to my headlines today.
Lots of folks have blogged about France wanting to indict VP Dick "The Puppetmaster" Cheney for his role as then-CEO of Halliburton when that company was bidding, with a French oil company for gas rights in Nigeria. There is the possibility of a sitting Vice President being indicted by a foreign country for bribery and corrupt practices while a CEO for a company from which he is still receiving delayed compensation. If indicted, he would obviously not stand trial, but then would be unable to travel to any country within the EU without being arrested and brought to trial. That would make him really useful, right?
This is huge news, right?
Nothing in the Wall Street Journal.
Nothing in the New York Times.
Washington Post? Nope.
Where can you find the story?
The UN Observer.
Le Figaro (France's largest, conservative paper), of course (archived stories must be paid for, but watch the front page for upcoming stories).
Al Jazeera.
And an article - not on the front page - from January 9th in the Dallas Morning News.
Our wonderful, So-Called Liberal Media, doing it's job. Which is, apparently, nothing.
