Clarke Boycotting Fox Former Clinton terrorism czar Richard Clarke is boycotting the Fox News Channel in apparent retaliation for the network's decision last week to release an August 2002 background briefing in which he praised President Bush's conduct of the war on terror. "Now here's something you might not know," Fox host Bill O'Reilly told his "O'Reilly Factor" audience Tuesday night. "Richard Clarke's publisher, Simon & Schuster, has refused to put him on the Fox News Channel at all." O'Reilly noted that the move was "almost unheard of in the publishing industry. ... Fox News Channel sells books and everybody in the publishing worlds knows it." "You can understand why he wouldn't come on 'The Factor' because we'd make him sweat, but all the other programs on this network? There's something wrong with that strategy," he added. Clarke's "soft interview only" strategy seemed to be in full force even in usually tough venues like "Meet the Press," where moderator Tim Russert abandoned his usual prosecutorial style to hand up the Bush critic mostly softballs on Sunday. Wednesday night the media fawning was even more pronounced, when MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews conducted what Matthews' friend Don Imus described this morning as "an accommodating interview." "He wasn't being challenged by Mr. Matthews at all," Imus complained. "That's unusual. I fully expected them to leave the set and travel to San Francisco - or somewhere." newsmax.com
