Brit Hume does ultimate knife job on Fred Thompson (VANITY)

Fox News Channel ^ | 11/20/07 | Me

[W04Man]

Brit Hume and panel on Fox News channel implies that Fred Thompson's campaign is Dead.

[W04Man]

This is the worse, but not the first "knife" job that the Special Report Crew and Panel has done against Fred. Funny thing is they didn't even have any help from Carl Cameron. They did it all by themselves. The Lady whose husband works on the Romney campaign failed to mention that this time. They owe Fred an apology the way they handled this trash. I'M VERY UPSET, I suspect others are too.

Fox News is NOT your friend.

Fox News is not conservative. The only thing that made them different was that they did not hate America.

[Reagan Man]

Just got done listening to Brit Hume`s Special Report crew of Fred Barnes, Nina Easton and Charles Krauthammer, blast Fred Thompson and tell us its over for Fred. He’s done!

Meanwhile, in the real world.... Fred Thompson is running second to Rooty is almost every poll. Hmmm.

Go Fred go!

I’m sorry to say that I have to agree with the panel. I don’t think Thompson has the fire in him the way some of the other guys do. Besides, he waited too long to get into the race, imo.

FNC is just as much a Rudi-shill network as CNN is a Shillery-shill network, if not more so.

Man, I want the kleenex concession here when this is all through.

“Brit Hume and panel on Fox News channel implies that Fred Thompson’s campaign is Dead.”

How long until the Foxsnooze folks replace their flag lapel buttons with “Rudy ‘08” buttons?

[Still Thinking]

That’s always been my take. Even “fair and balanced” seems to be pushing it a little. Seems they’re just less leftist than the other networks.

[Brilliant]

Maybe he just wants to beat Hillary.

[Spiff]

Or maybe Brit Hume told the truth. Thompson’s campaign has basically been floundering since he announced and the poll numbers make that abundantly clear. Are we now going to start attacking Brit Hume all of a sudden because he said something that people around here don’t want to hear no matter how accurate it may be? Because you didn’t provide any details, there’s no way to know. I’ll be looking for video excerpts or a replay of the report tonight.

No surprise on Fox. Bracewell and Giuliani ‘s law firm represent Fox news.

You haven't been paying attention.... mr/ms jones:

Not getting Fox News while in Asia, but I thought I read Carl Cameron was pulling for Fred. Didn’t he tell a producer, before Fred was going live, that “the next President of the US has....” and Freds response was, and so do I.

Now, am I reading Cameron is not a fan?

[Reagan Man]

Good lord, you’re still hanging around. Didn’t ypou opus out six months ago? LOL

If Giuliani gets the nomination, I’ll be crying for America.

Guess you’ll be cheering.

[Vigilanteman]

They can imply whatever they want. It doesn't make it so. Nobody is going to hand Fred Thompson the nomination. He has to earn it. FWIW, I like Fred and think he would make a decent president. But he's not a great campaigner.

If Duncan Hunter had Fred's name recognition and Mitt's money, Guilani would be polling in single digits now.

[Joann37]

I’m not supporting Thompson, but Fred and Mort have riled me enough by causing those of us against illegal immigration “racists” and xenophobes. I finally stopped watching those two.

[Theresawithanh]

There’s no cryin’ in politics! ;-p

[Petronski]

The GOP is going to be grievously disappointed when they find out how many conservatives simply ignore the candidacy of Rudy or Willard.

Mark this date on your calendar. And when FDT is elected POTUS, I would like very much to send a copy of this horrible episode to Fox News and specifically Brit Hume and Fred Barnes to ask them how they’d like their crow.
