This video could be part of a larger, more meaningful discussion of the geo-politics of the two Bush administrations. Instead, it will likely be reduced to remain an 82-second self-contained meme of political indignation.

This clip isn’t interesting. Why not? Because anyone who was following Cheney’s steps, missteps, and misstatements, already knew he said this 13 years ago. It’s out there. That is not the problem. It doesn’t need to be in video and on YouTube to exist.

The problem is that the big media is not asking the hard questions and, as you pointed out, the new media is not effectively distributing the hard questions.

Nor, as I pointed out,/a> in relation to this recent Buzz Machine post, are we using blogs and web 2.0 to self-educate, rather they are simply echo-chambers for “self-contained meme[s] of political indignation.”
