Cheney Loves His Fox

What a surprise, eh?

From the Washington Post:

Cheney Praises Fox News Channel
Vice President Calls Network 'More Accurate' Than Others

Vice President Cheney endorsed the Fox News Channel during a conference call last night with tens of thousands of Republicans who were gathered across the country to celebrate a National Party for the President Day organized by the Bush-Cheney campaign.

Fox News styles its coverage as "fair and balanced," but it has a heavy stable of conservative commentators that makes it a favorite around the White House. It is unusual for a president or vice president to single out a commercial enterprise for public praise.

The comment came as Cheney took questions from supporters at 5,245 parties that were held in 50 states to energize grass-roots volunteers building a precinct-by-precinct army for President Bush's campaign.

"It's easy to complain about the press -- I've been doing it for a good part of my career," Cheney said. "It's part of what goes with a free society. What I do is try to focus upon those elements of the press that I think do an effective job and try to be accurate in their portrayal of events. For example, I end up spending a lot of time watching Fox News, because they're more accurate in my experience, in those events that I'm personally involved in, than many of the other outlets."

Fox constantly compliments Cheney.

So Cheney compliments Fox.

So Fox will continue to copmliment Cheney.

Who will probably continue to compliment Fox.

We should warn Cheney he's coming dangerously close to gay marraige.

No wonder he likes it. The problem is that this now becomes the norm for a once honorable media. Fox has the distinction of being the first to make bias OK. Hope theyre ready for whats coming. Its going to be no different than the countries with state run television where the Gov controls everything.

...his new gimmick, which he seems to do every night now, is interrupt, talk over, bully and badger anyone who DARES mention Bush or his administration in response to his Democrat and / or liberal-bashing question. He'll YELL "I didn't ask you about George Bush, I asked you about { blank }...ANSWER MY QUESTION...and he'll keep doing it until the guest backs down or out-yells him. At that point, he shakes his head in mock disgust, mutters something under his breath, and moves on to the pro-Bush guest.

He's been known as a thug for a long time, but it's getting much, much worse. It used to be good for a laugh, now it's just pitiful. Of COURSE Chaney sees Fox as one of the "elements of the press that I think do an effective job and try to be accurate in their portrayal of events"...the "approved copy" comes over to Fox from the White House press room, all of the talking points carefully lined up, and Rupert's good little boys and girls stick to the script.

What's NOT to love???

:puke:

from Robert Novak. That reeks of his "Crossfire" tactics.

and he's a RUSH 'fan' apparently since he called in TWICE so far...

:crazy:
