They still aren't seeing their irrelevance yet. Does he sound agitated to anybody else?

[Steely Tom]

The WaPo article contains none of the anti-Fox snarkyness I was expecting.

[mainepatsfan]

I heard that CNN kept referring to Fox as "another network" when reporting his interview.

[IrishMike]

CNN's Jack Cafferty actually said.....
" It was like Bonnie interviewing Clyde .."

[Fawn]

Everybody with any sense knows that Cheney went with FOx news because he know they wouldn't parse his words, leave out the facts or play "I PULLED THE TRIGGER"...OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
DId anyone see what lie Katie/Matt's show did this morning???
They said FOX never disclosed that Cheney said he had one beer at lunch!!! I believe I did hear FOX say that....anyone else?

Last night on Special Report Brit was talking to the panel at the end of the show when he told them about what happened after he left the interview with the V.P.. He was walking out of the building when he passed a network crew and stopped to chat with them. He said they wanted to know how he landed that interview, if it was because of Fox's obvious conservative stance. Brit responded to the interviewer that it probably the viewer numbers that they had, and that was the real reason. He then laughed and said he doubted they would use that sound bite on their broadcast.

In case someone missed it, here's the full quote from that jerk Cafferty that IrishMike mentioned above with a comment from Hugh following(this was lifted from Hugh Hewitt's blog):

From CNN's Jack Cafferty this afternoon:

Jack Cafferty: Well, I obviously didn’t see it because it hasn’t been released in its entirety yet. But I would guess it didn’t exactly represent a profile in courage for the Vice President to wander over there to the “f-word” network for a sit down with Brit Hume. I mean that’s a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain’t it? I mean, where was the news conference? Where was the access to all of the members of the media? I don’t know, whatever.

Wolf: Do you still think he needs to do a full scale news conference, invite all the cameras, all the reporters and ask whatever they want?

Cafferty: That's never going to happen. But I mean running over there to the Fox Network to do it, i mean talk about seeking a safe haven. He's not going to get any high hard ones from anybody at the f-word ntework, I think we know that."

Hugh Hewitt writes:

How bitter at cable eclipse can you be? The Veep went on the most watched network likely to give his interview a complete airing. He was interviewed by the most respected and experienced anchor in America right now by the people who care about professionalism.

And a one-on-one interview is much more productive than a gaggle of screamers trying to score cheap shot points, as David Gregory has amply demonstrated over the past two days.

[Personal Responsibility]

I am sure CNN is stunned, STUNNED, that they did not get this interview.

[Obadiah]

Hmmm...Let's see...Brit Hume or David Gregory? Gee, that's a tough decision.

[McGavin999]

I hope that the next republican administration that gets in announces they are going to renovate the press room and so it will be temporarily closed while the repairs are going on. Then I hope they just never bother to reopen it.

[cinives]

Fox said this morning that so far, no other network has asked to air the interview. I guess the others are sufficient to drive more viewers to Fox so they can see it for themselves instead of a 3rd rate review.

[soloNYer]

I saw another article from the Washington Post today "Cheney Expresses Remorse, Defiance" by Peter Baker which includes the line "...in a hastily arranged White House interview with the Fox News Channel -- which Democrats maintain has a pro-Bush bias."

I'd love to see, in fairness, every article from the NYT and Washington Post include "which Republicans maintain has a pro-Democrat bias."

Critics slam Cheney's interview choice

[Bender2]

Yeah, but the New York Slimes scooped FOX with...

Whoa! Didn't see that coming, did you, Danno?

[untrained skeptic]

Someone needs to ask all these self important so called journalists why the way Chenery handled this was so bad?

Through the way it was handled they received accurate information from a first hand source.

The victim was able to get medical care and get to the hospital without concerns of the media getting in the way.

The family was able to be notified before the media circus of misinformation began.

The public received accurate information. The slight delay allowed the police and game warden to do their jobs unimpeded by reporters and allowed a release of the accident report to the press and public not long after the incident was being reported upon.

It appears that the way it was handled served the public well be getting them accurate information. It served the victim well by keeping the press out of the way until he could get medical treatment. It served the family well because they didn't have to suffer through hearing of the accident from inaccurate media reports, but were able to be contacted with the facts first.

I think Cheney and the others directly involved handled this well.

I think the media has acted appallingly.

[PogySailor]

CBS radio has today's talking point: Cheney needs to be evaluated for mental stability due to the stress of almost killing his friend. Top of the hour, 50% of the time was Cheney stories, from one perspective or another.

They are pushing this story so hard than you never hear about the crazy Muslims rioting or Iran getting nukes anymore. Much less Gore's Saudi Arabian funded America/Bush bashing.

[School of Rational Thought]

"They still aren't seeing their irrelevance yet. Does he sound agitated to anybody else?" I would disagree. I think they see their irrelvancy all too clearly. Releasing information in Corpus Christi or this blog for that matter, gets information on the internet (and the world) instantly and without the filter of some lay abouts in the press room. Other than being from the opposition party, what differentiates them from anyone else who can put out the story? The internet has changed the world and they are kicking and screaming. Look at me, I am publishing this for the entire world (except China) to read.
