Beware the Brit Humes, etc, from Politics Daily. A quote:

"Beware the Brit Humes in Your Office," blared the headline from another Huffington Post blogger. This one, penned by business columnist Eve Tahmincioglu, included the following passage: "The fact that a journalist -- and I use that term loosely as it pertains to Hume -- would go on a national news show and put down another high-profile individual's faith should tell all of us that religious bigotry, and bigotry as a whole, is a growing problem in this country."

See Anne Coulter's columns of Jan 6 2010. I couldn't figure out how to get the link. As usual, she probably ticks off a lot of people but gets the essentials right (IMHO).

Check out the mote in your own eye, Evie, before you whine about the beam in someone else's.

Brit Hume is a damn good journalist. You, on the other hand, are a windy twit, like most of those folks who patronize the Puffington Host.

Brit Hume is a damn fine journalist. I suspect that the reason he pulled out of Fox when he did was he knew that network management was moving away from good journalism and would not be on the same network with the likes of Glen Beck. Brit Hume is a JOURNALIST, this Evie is a fool. We have so few good journalists remaining in this country. It is interesting to consider the newspapers that have died. Typically they are in a two paper town, and the papers that close first are those that became an extension of the liberal agenda rather than staying true to the tradition.

WHEN, Ms. Apple Pie, was FOX news EVER in the vicinity of good journalism??

I used to watch the 5pm Fox News almost every day when Brit Hume ran it. It's not as good now, though it's still a cut above CNN and WAY above the level of any of the other cable or broadcast news shows. I'll listen to Hume any time, anywhere, he wants to speak.

Fox runs some info-tainment-style programs, which I don't care for, but their straight 5pm news is worth watching.
