msnbc: on the wagon at last

apparently they've given up beer. thanks to johnnycougar's dkos diary, we find the msnbc website has dumped some interesting information down the memory hole.

according to this post at the democratic underground, a recent story on the msnbc website about the cheney shooting had a reference to alcohol at the hunting party:

armstrong also told nbc news that she does not believe alcohol was involved in the accident. she says she believes no one that day was drinking, although she says there may have been beer available during a picnic lunch that preceded the incident. "there may be a beer or two in there," she said...

but now, when you bring up that story, all references to beer have been deleted.

check out this google cache of search items, indicating that the words "there may be a beer or two in there cheney" can be found in that same story.

laurence o'donnell doesn't say that there was alcohol invovled, but he does ask how do we know there wasn't, since it was 18 hours between the incident and when cheney talked to law enforcement.
