Liz Cheney appeared on Sean Hannity’s TV show last night, and had some very tough things to say about the Obama administration’s public feuding with Fox News.
Cheney said that David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel were sending a “clear warning” against other networks: “It’s clear censorship, and it’s, in my view, abuse of power from the White House.”
As for why the Obama administration has it in for Fox, Cheney said: “They became accustomed to an environment where they just got a lot of adoration, and they don’t like to be challenged. And Fox News has sure been, you know, at the top of the list of those asking the hard questions.”
She may have a point about a White House being accustomed to an environment of adoration and not being challenged. This would explain why the Bush-Cheney White House liked Fox News so much.
