In between Hill appearances on both the Senate and House sides, Petraeus will also appear on FOX News for an hour-long interview with Brit Hume. That decision has also raised Democratic suspicions but Petraeus spokesman Col. Steve Boylan tells ABC News:
"All networks were contacted for a potential early interview and the stipulation was that it would need to be a longer format than regular newscasts or just a little longer than normal. Only two networks responded with options. One was CNN with Larry King Live and one was Fox News with a special with Brit Hume. It was decided to go with Brit Hume for no other reason than audience reach to the American public. Their audience reach was at least double that of Larry King for the same time slot. Based on the length of the testimony today, we had time for only one long-format show."
