Cheney's exclusive interview with Fox pays off; FNC withholds video of Cheney's drinking acknowledgment, ignores key questions
Summary: In airing Brit Hume's interview with Vice President Dick Cheney, Fox News omitted Cheney's comments about drinking a beer the day he shot his hunting companion. Fox News even excluded the comments from what it said was the "full interview" posted on its website.
Vice President Dick Cheney's decision to grant an exclusive interview to Fox News anchor Brit Hume apparently paid off, as Hume neglected to ask obvious questions and Fox News curiously decided not to broadcast Cheney's acknowledgment that he drank a beer before accidentally shooting a hunting companion in the face.
Cheney's acknowledgment that he consumed alcohol was one of the most significant new revelations of the interview, and -- though Cheney said he had only one beer, hours before the shooting -- raises new questions about the decision by the sheriff of Kenedy County, Texas, where the shooting took place, not to interview Cheney until the morning after the shooting. Yet Fox News chose not to broadcast Cheney's acknowledgment; instead, Hume paraphrased it in setting up the interview, thus sparing Cheney the embarrassment of the public seeing him acknowledge that he was drinking before he shot a man in the face -- and depriving the public of the opportunity to assess his credibility as he talked about the matter.
Fox News' decision to withhold video of Cheney's comments about drinking extends further than the initial broadcast of Hume's interview. At 9 a.m. ET on February 16, Fox's website urged readers to "Click here to watch Brit Hume's full interview with Vice President Cheney":

I don't know, it seems to me the Cheney story is a lot of hoopla about nothing. We all know Fox News is biased, and if it wasn't a non-story, maybe I would be more up in arms about it, but I don't think Cheney shot the guy on purpose, the worst he did was an error in judgement.
One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila.....BLAM !!!!!
This is all about nothing and it will die out just like every other liberal attempt to embarrass the Bush Administration. Its funny that the liberals like to call FoxNews biased and yet they try to act like the rest of the MSM isn't biased to the left, thats pretty comical. Cheney admitted to drinking one beer earlier in the day and all the liberal conspiracy theorist are trying to act like he was falling down drunk and itr is being covered up. Show proof or shut up is all I have to say and stop with all the conspiracy theories already.
Hey jon,
How about the deaths of over 2,000 American Heros both him and Bush is responsible for?
