| Description | Lynne Cheney, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's wife, Friday accused CNN of bias for a series on the Bush administration.
During an interview with the network, the second lady said the bias began with the title of the series -- "Broken Government" -- and said CNN appeared to be following the Democratic Party line, Editor & Publisher reported. She told interviewer Wolf Blitzer that the series -- part of CNN's Vote 2006 coverage -- includes "terrible distortions of the president's and vice president's positions on many issues."
The administration had to confront an economic recession as soon as President George W. Bush was inaugurated, Cheney said, and also had to deal with the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina.
"That's not broken," she said. "This government has acted very well."
Cheney criticized CNN for running videotape, apparently supplied through intermediaries by a terrorist group, of a U.S. soldier being shot.
She said she had been invited to talk about her new children's book, "50 States," and instead had to field questions about her husband and her own criticisms of Jim Webb, the Democratic senatorial candidate in Virginia.
