I remember the Clintons leaving DC … Hanging out for as long as possible at the airport hanger while cameras flashed and rolled his never ending media milking blather. And there was Janet Reno dressed much like a truck driver standing in the crowd … Just about every network carried it, and the Clinton arrival at their destination after looting Air Force One.

Alone among networks, Fox News gives Bush homecoming cheer

-Scott Collins

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials sometimes let it be known that they stuck with Fox News for their informational needs. And on Tuesday, Fox News returned the favor, even as the rest of Washington remained gripped by Obama fever.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Fox News was the only major national TV outlet that carried a live telecast of former President Bush’s homecoming speech to cheering supporters in Midland, Texas.

“Sometimes what I did wasn’t popular,” a smiling Bush told the crowd. “But that’s OK. I always did what I thought was right.”

The rest of the networks, however, did not see the Bush address as news fit to broadcast. At 6:40 p.m. EST, MSNBC was in the middle of “Hardball,” with host Chris Matthews and guests batting around the meaning of Obama’s swearing-in. CNN was carrying live ongoing coverage of the final moments of the inaugural parade, with the Obamas beaming from the White House reviewing stand.

The broadcast networks likewise did not cover the Bush speech. At least in Los Angeles, both KCBS-Channel 2 and KNBC-Channel 4 had returned to regular syndicated programming (”Judge Judy” and “Deal or No Deal”). KABC-Channel 7 was airing local news.
