Back during the election, the media declared it their duty to "vet" Sarah Palin and Joe The Plumber (an ordinary citizen, by the way) by digging into every detail of their personal lives, going so far as to mock McCain for not digging himself.
Well, given Bill Richardson's departure from the Obama Cabinet, I have noticed a lack of curiosity on the part of The Deciders to dig into Richardon's dealings, and their unwillingness to ask the President-Elect about HIS vetting process.

This all leads to the main question. What does Prince Bandar’s
successor know about Obama’s past life that will give him power that no
American could have over him? What does Putin know that the New York
Times was too lazy and/or biased to find and report? What does
Ahmadinejad know that the Washington Post was too biased and insular to
find? Was there some nugget that the AP turned its back on while
worshiping Obama that will be used by a foreign power to endanger our
national security? We’re not even a month from the inauguration and
already media incompetence has fed into the weakness of the Obama
administration. What weakness? The weakness that comes from lying and
covering up and being allowed to get away with it. Democracy only works
in the light of day. And there was an unhealthily small amount of it in
the recent election.
