During the February 15 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, CNN anchor Jack Cafferty told Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer that Vice President Dick Cheney's interview with Fox News host Brit Hume on the "F-word network" (Fox News Channel) to discuss his February 11 accidental shooting of a hunting party companion "didn't exactly represent a profile in courage." Although Cafferty acknowledged that he had not seen the interview, which had yet to be released in full, he nonetheless asserted that the fact that Cheney interviewed exclusively with Hume was "a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde." When Blitzer asked if Cafferty thought Cheney "still needs to do a full-scale news conference," Cafferty replied: "That's never going to happen." He insisted, however, that "running over there to the Fox network" was "seeking a safe haven" because Cheney will not "get any high, hard ones from anybody at the F-word network."
From the February 15 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
BLITZER: First of all, Jack, what did you make of Dick Cheney's interview today?
CAFFERTY: Well, I obviously didn't see it 'cause it hasn't been released in its entirety yet, but I -- 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 -- where was the access to all of the members of the media? I don't know. You know? Whatever.
BLITZER: You still think he needs to do a full-scale news conference in front of all of the cameras, all of 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 -- I mean that's -- talk about seeking a safe haven. He's not going to get any high, hard ones from anybody at the F-word network. I think we know that.

Perhaps it's more in the line of trying to reach a larger audience.
As a cable news network Fox News has more than double the viewership of the no. 2 network...and still more viewers than the no. 2 and 3 combine.
.... and is an extremely friendly environment..... No embarassing questions.....

That is really funny... The Fox Network is the Republican propganda channel. That is why they always adopt the adminstration's terminology to describe things.
This was aking to MM doing an interview with Moveon.org.
I also think you would have had more press conferences prior also.
He made some really, really bad decisions on this....
