On Fox News Sunday FNC anchor Brit Hume said, “Edwards knows is that while he may be at war against Fox News, Fox News is not and cannot be at war with him.” He continued:
He knows, and his people know, that Carl Cameron and Jim Angle and Major Garrett and you Chris in interviews and I as a news anchor on a nightly program are going to continue to treat him in the same fair way that we’ve always treated him, and we must do that. Now, he might get roughed up by some conservative commentators on Fox, but he’ll be defended by liberal commentators on Fox as well. So in the short term, this is probably good politics. In the long term, I have my doubts but that remains to be seen.”
Edwards apparently agrees with Hume’s assessment. He’s using this incident to gin up some campaign cash.
