Washington Post ^ | Paul J. Gough

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Vice President Dick Cheney told Fox News Channel in an exclusive interview Wednesday afternoon that he believed he properly handled the disclosure of his involvement in a hunting accident in Texas last week.

Cheney accidentally shot a fellow hunter at a Texas ranch on Saturday while hunting quail. Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old lawyer, has been hospitalized in Corpus Christi ever since and suffered a mild heart attack Tuesday.

I just got home and see on FNC that Sen. Schumer is calling for VP Cheney to hold a press conference.

These over inflated egos don't have a problem with Al Gore going into enemy territory and condemning his own country, FGS.

Did the Boston Globe lift the "pro-Bush bias" line directly from the WaPo article without attributing it? It looks like this is an opportunity for the msm to trash Fox as well. Bonanza!

Pulled from Drudge's website: "Now that he [the Vice President] feels forced to talk, he wants to restrict the discussion to a friendly news outlet [Fox News], guaranteeing no hard questions from the press corps," Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said in a statement."

To CNN... You eatin' some sour grapes?

To Frank Lautenberg... Isn't it your bed time? Don't forget the warm milk and cookies fool.

"Schumer is calling for VP Cheney to hold a press conference. "

As long as Chuckie gets to stand in front of the camera.

More dangerous than hunting with Dick or driving with Ted? Being between Schumer and a camera.

Off topic but I was at Costco on Sunday and walked by their employee breakroom (which is pretty much wide open for people to see into) and their TV was turned on to FOX and the Brian Williams show and about 5 employees were sitting on the same side of the table watching. I thought it was kind of funny given that the CEO of Costco is a big Dem.

Folks this whole thing about FNC being a right wing or conservative leaning channel drives me up the wall. They are balanced. At least they give you both sides of the issues. The MSM has a tilt to the left. There is no question about that. Every time I look at the FNC they have Democrats on to balance their right wing counter parts. This is just the MSM throwing a hissy fit because they do not control everything any more. Plain and simple. Thank god for the FNC as well as the Internet, blogs, and talk radio. At least we are getting closer to a balanced playing field.

Agreed. I don't know what we'd do without Fox News. The great thing is with them around, they are keeping the other news channels at least somewhat honest, and now everyone has to try and be more fair and balanced.
