Keeping opinion out of the story too often means being a fancy stenographer."

I disagree totally. A reporter shouldn't be fancy.

Brit Hume is probably the best journalist on television today, and would have no problem doing Brokaw, Jennings', or Rather's jobs without a hint of spin. The man is brilliant, likable, honest, and presents the news in a balanced way without erecting strawmen. God, even Bill Clinton thought Brit was the best.

The sooner we get leftists like this off these panels the better.

Fox in the hen house alert!


Way to go Brit :o)

quietly resigned from the board of the foundation three weeks ago

English Translation: For three weeks, no one noticed that she had quit, so she issued a press release.

Geneva Overholser, former ombudsman of The Washington Post, has resigned from the board of the National Press Foundation because it plans to honor Fox News anchor Brit Hume at its annual dinner in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 19.



As one of your dem/libs John Kerry likes to say:

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT MS. OVERHOLSER. :)

“It is that legacy we must protect with our diligent stewardship. To do so means we must be aware of the energetic effort that is now underway to convince our readers that we are ideologues. It is an exercise of, in disinformation, of alarming proportions, this attempt to convince the audience of the world’s most ideology-free newspapers that they’re being subjected to agenda-driven news reflecting a liberal bias. I don’t believe our viewers and readers will be, in the long-run, misled by those who advocate biased journalism.”

Big fat liar!

[RightthinkinAmerican]

If Cokie Roberts and Ed Bradley got it before, Brit should tell them to shove it.

Insightful.

"...whether it wouldn't be better to have a more European-like model -- in which media were straightforwardly ideologically aligned...”

This would be my preference, but will never happen as long as the lamestream press refuses to admit it's biased.

[Tamzee]

Such breathtaking hypocrisy.....

At the February 20, 2003 event, Raines railed against anyone who dares accuse the media of liberal bias: “Our greatest accomplishment as a profession is the development since World War II of a news reporting craft that is truly non-partisan, and non-ideological, and that strives to be independent of undue commercial or governmental influence.... “It is that legacy we must protect with our diligent stewardship. To do so means we must be aware of the energetic effort that is now underway to convince our readers that we are ideologues. It is an exercise of, in disinformation, of alarming proportions, this attempt to convince the audience of the world’s most ideology-free newspapers that they’re being subjected to agenda-driven news reflecting a liberal bias. I don’t believe our viewers and readers will be, in the long-run, misled by those who advocate biased journalism.”

That's why their headlines always said stuff like, algore is a 2-time college dropout, George Bush has an MBA, the smartest woman in the world flunked the Bar exam in Washington DC twice, Ronald Reagan had a degree in Economics, etc.
