Softball interview reveals little but disdain (LIBERAL PANTIES IN A WAD ABOUT HUME & CHENEY)

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | February 16, 2006 | DOUG ELFMAN TELEVISION CRITIC

[Chi-townChief]

Not as much fun as Carter's attack rabbit but it sounds like these liberal bozos might wanna put a little ice on it.

[SmithL]

Mary Jo Kopechne is still unavailable for comment.

[My2Cents]

I think the Chicago Sun-Times shows a demeanor of disrespectful elitism.

[L98Fiero]

What questions remain unanswered? NONE. The story is DEAD. I've seen little girls with scraped knees cry less.

[iPod Shuffle]

I don't recall them ever objecting when Clinton did interviews with CNN/ABC/NPR/PBS/NBC/CBS...

[Darkwolf377]

I thought I was done with this story, but now it's getting interesting. The MSM in full attack mode against FOX reveals where their interests REALLY lie (pun intended)--their poor widdle egos at not getting treated like the royalty this dolt accuses Hume of treating Cheney as.

This aspect of the story is getting fun.

[mtbopfuyn]

And Fox didn't air the whole interview. What was left on the cutting-room floor?

Nothing much but Dick and Brit laughing about the msm throwing a temper tantrum that would put a two year old to shame.

[NautiNurse]

proud of a blase disdain for the people he serves.

The self-serving media sloths are the center of their universe.

[G Larry]

And just what meaningful questions would the MSM have asked that Brit did not?

[fizziwig]

Elfman is a TV critic...bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

And his name is fitting of the sort of "man" he is.

Cheney is making all the little sissy boys cry and we get to watch....thank you VP Cheney...you da MAN!

[Not A Snowbird]

Before the interview, he spun the story: "The public isn't very upset about it."

That's not spin, that's fact. Only the White House press corps and the DUmmies care a whit about this.

[LRS]

He posed a good-old-boy question, "I take it you missed the bird?"

Well, I s'pose that makes me a Good Ol' Boy, cos' I wonderin' 'bout that myself...

[ru4liberty]

[Jacquerie]

A couple years ago the Hildebeast's entourage in several SUVs ran a security perimeter at an airport. A guard was injured and spent weeks in the hospital. No story here in the old media. Now, they get hysterical because the White House let a Texas newspaper get the story out. Big deal.

Go ahead rats, try to make this an issue. It will fall flat with the general public just like your rants about Abu Graib and spying on Al Queada communications with their American agents.

[Spok]

When I heard that Cheney was only giving an interview to Fox, I cheered. Cheney will come out of this with added respect from conservatives-I wish more Republicans would stand up to the malicious MSM. (He does, however, need some counseling with Eddie Eagle.)

[Eddie01]

Bottom line, the MSM was unable to paint Cheney as a lier through accusations poised as questions. i.e.

Some people are suggesting (fill in the blank). or
Sources close to the incident have revealed (fill in the blank) or
Are you upset by the incident? or
When you shot him in the face did it suddenly strike that this is what our military goes through every day? or...
Do you think this makes the gun control arguement? or...
Isn't this Chappaquidick all over again Mr. Vice President?

and on and on and on...

[Bender2]

Well... It looks like I will have to drop in on the fellas at the Chicago Sun-Times between my baby seal hunt in Alaska and my orphan hunt in Vermont...

[TexanToTheCore]

This story is beginning to resemble the Aruba-Holloway story.


Greta Van Susteren could probably keep this story alive til the '08 elections. Nightly updates with no content. Months of no content, years of no content.

[Callahan]

disrespectful elitist

That pretty much describes the White House Press Corps.

[Stand Watch Listen]

I love how the WH press corp is described in this editorial:
White House Press Corps Expose
Carolina Journal. ^ | February 16, 2006 | Jon Ham

Sitting in armchairs waiting for handouts not the best way to get scoops

Members of the elite White House press corps this week have acted more like animals that have been kept in captivity for so long that they can’t find news unless it is forced down their open gullets at a daily press briefing. ..........
