Only Democrats Go To Nats' Games

"And there were a lot of boos out there, maybe even more boos than cheers for the vice president today. Dick Cheney threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals' home opener. Cheney's pitch bounced in front of home plate, before the catcher, Brian Schneider, scooped it up -- Cheney getting some boos in the District of Columbia, a heavily Democratic area, not necessarily all that surprising."

This is Blitzer playing down the boos Cheney received yesterday at the Nationals' opening game. As Media Matters points out they were not the only media outlet trying to cover such beautiful display of disappointment.

Think Progress has a small blurb on how The Washington Post changed their copy after several blogs complained that they did not portray yesterday's game accurately. And also Think Progress has the video of Fox muting the boos.
