Special Report with Brit Hume routinely data-mined soundbites to smear the environmental movement despite Hume’s daily claims of being “fair, balanced and unafraid.” Hume’s gone but no matter who fills the chair the script remains the same:
“Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper reported researchers are giving up the hunt for the Loch Ness Monster because ‘Nessie may [...]
Fox News is something else.
Brit Hume’s been a major player on the network so it’s not surprising they’d do a tribute of the man upon his retirement from his anchor chair on Special Report. However, you’ve got to wonder how smart the folks on the “fair and balanced” network were who produced this unintentional [...]
At the end of every show Brit boasts he’s “fair, balanced, and unafraid.” This, of course, is a complete lie. Observe his “Political Grapevine” segments thus far this week.
Monday he opens with “FIT OR FAITHFUL” grousing about how Barack Obama has worked out instead of going to church for the past three Sundays. He digs [...]
Bret Baier, Fox News’ chief White House correspondent, often keeps Brit Humes’ seat warm on Special Report with Brit Hume. Yet, the lack of balanced “Political Grapevine” content apparently doesn’t change regardless who fills the chair.
3 out of the 4 topics in this November 14th edition regard president-elect Barack Obama’s transition team or his [...]
“I have a feeling that people, when they look back, will be a lot kinder to this president than the current scribes are being. It’s really turned out to be a very consequential presidency. When you look at all the problems that have hit, the country has come through in remarkable shape. September 11 was [...]
“[Brit Hume] created something that hadn’t existed before: a slight bias, for want of a better word, toward the right, as opposed to what we have on the shows that make so much news today, with an overwhelming bias either to the right or the left.” – Eric Burns
Eric Burns used to host Fox News’ [...]
Pew Research did an election media study “The Color of News.” The conclusion of Pew’s study pretty much validates my perceptions and plain common sense. When MSNBC added Rachael Maddow to their line-up following lefty Keithy Olbermann they became a liberal Fox News.
“In many ways, the data offer hard evidence to confirm the notion [...]
Conservative Brit Hume is slipping into semi-retirement. Before he exits stage right he’s got to do the “fair and balanced” jig one last time:
“I worked in the mainstream media for years as a correspondent at ABC News, I was there for 23 years. Before that I worked for newspapers. There was never any doubt in [...]
Sean Hannity lies about Obama and the rest of the Fox News gang chimes in for some spin. No need for me to expand upon what Think Progress has documented which is quite excellent and includes video.
Come to think of it. What’s the need for documentation? We knew this already.
I’m catching up on Fox News. What did I miss from the “Political Grapevine?” Not much judging from the videos featured on the Fox News website. Here’s a wrap up:
8/22 – “Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt” is Fox News emphasizing the divisions between the Clintons and Obama. Not too surprising coming from Brett Baier. I watched [...]
