I used to read all of Jack Anderson's columns. I guess I was Brit Hume fan even then, although I didn't know it.
Thank You for posting this.
You can watch the whole program at the
link on the right side of the linked
page. It’s a great interview.
Yeah, I do vividly recall hume giving it his all to ridicule and demonize Dr Ron Paul during the “campaign”!
I think good interviews like this, and interviews by David Frost many years ago, can be true and revealing. I think Brit explained the origin, from his viewpoint, of Fox News, and I found that very interesting. I think his assessment of liberal bias and fairness (or lack thereof) are very insightful.
I have a greater appreciation, it grows from year to year, that the Pulitzer (and other prizes) are clubby awards given by liberals to liberals. Like the Nobel Peace prize, it is more of a dishonor than an honor.
His recounting of his son’s death by suicide was news to me. At the time of Sandy’s death, I read something that suggested a conspiracy and foul play. I thought another shoe might drop, but it never did. I guess this interview wraps it up for me.
Exactly, few in his steps. I listened to some of the interview and it was classic Hume. Should be required listening for all journalism students.
Oh, my.
A real man, but we knew that.
