CHENEY <--> FAUX NEWS

Dan Bartlett in the Texas Monthly interview did note on exception to his general claim that the media didn't inhale WH Spin:

Dispel the myth that there’s an underground tunnel between the Fox News studios and the White House.

Um, no, quite the contrary. I’ll tell you, I probably got more complaints from various Fox News programs about not getting the type of access they deserved. Now, there are exceptions to that. Vice President Cheney’s done a lot with them. But I think they were treated pretty equally across the board. If you look at the major newscasters, there were some, like [Dan] Rather, that we didn’t do. You’d be hard-pressed to say that we didn’t accommodate the others.
