Rove Ignores Congress’ Subpoena, Yet Appears at TV Critics Meet
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Rove may snub Congress, but not supposedly”tame” TV writers who part control his Fox-TV destiny – and suddenly turn in to tough White House correspondents as interview changes tone

By Gayl Murphy


BEVERLY HILLS, CA (Hollywood Today) 7/14/08 — Former White House adviser Karl Rove was a no-show in Congress a few days ago in spite of a Federal subpoena, yet did show in Beverly Hills yesterday to tell TV critics his Fox News show will “not be neutral” and to say the anti-gay marriage spin on the 2004 presidential election, regarded as one of his political coups, was not his, but a fluke of the Michigan courts at the time.

Rove, a surprise to most attendees though he has a commentary show on Fox, told the Television Critics Association meet that “The issue was not introduced by the two candidates, neither Bush nor Kerry. It was the (gay marriage ok in state) ruling of the Supreme Court of Michigan that exploded and got a life of its own. I don’t think the California initiative has gotten that attention in the 2008 campaign, nor will it.”

Rove, speaking directly before a room of reporters allowed to ask questions, a rare event for him, handled mostly news coverage questions, given attendees were TV critics, not Washington correspondents. When asked if viewers could be assured election coverage that would not be affected by an agenda for the candidate some Fox folks were pushing, Rove made no bones that his commentary would not be neutral – in spite of earlier comments from Fox News brass and anchors that Fox was as advertised, fair and balanced.

hope I'm surprised.

4. Now He'll Claim He's A "Journalist"

"Confidential sources" and "shield law" ya know. I don't know who are the bigger chickenshits here. Rove, whose running cause he knows he's on borrowed time...or the suckass stenographers who probably ogle at the mere sight of the sleezebag. I'd even bet a few slipped him resumes and asked that he put them in the "right hands".
