Seems the MSM got their feelings hurt.

Drudge Headline: “CNN SLAMS CHENEY FOR GOING TO FOX”

Fox News executives cast the scoop as the result of persistence and the growing clout of the top-rated cable news network.

“We’ve been after the vice president since Sunday, as everyone has, and our efforts paid off,” said John Moody, Fox’s senior vice president for news editorial. “I think he wanted to make sure he got a fair interview and a good interview — good in the sense of thorough — and Brit is sort of the pre-eminent journalist in Washington right now.”

But some Democrats and competing broadcasters charged that Cheney chose to speak only with Fox News because of a perception that the cable channel is sympathetic to the Republican administration. They called for the vice president to hold a news conference with the rest of the media.

The Tre found me this on Newsbusters.Org: Journalists Jealous Cheney Went to FNC, Take Shots at Integrity of FNC & Brit Hume

“Admitting he hadn’t seen the interview, at about 4:15pm EST Wednesday on CNN’s The Situation Room, Jack Cafferty charged that “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?”

These clowns are so laughable, we should all be in good health after we get up off the floor and wipe the tears from our eyes.

They are pissed because Vice President Cheney didn’t go running to them like a puppy dog with its tail between the legs peeing on himself to tell his story. No – instead he went to a News Network that has shown him and the President the respect they are due their office and put himself in front of Brit Hume – who didn’t mince words during the interview.

Good for you Mr. Vice President. I wouldn’t go into a badger’s den either when wanting to get the “truth” across.

As noted in the quote from the Drudge link – Fox got the scoop, the leftist MSM didn’t. That’s what they are most pissed off about. After days of hounding for a response, they finally get one, but not on their terms.

Grow up MSM, your diapers are showing.

Thomas Sowell speaks out on this here.

The accidental shooting of Harry Whittington, while he was on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney, has nothing to do with government policy or the Vice President’s official duties but the mainstream media have gone ballistic over it nevertheless.
