Hume's excuse for not covering O'Keefe's first video:

Brit Hume ‏@brithume 3h
3 hours ago
James O'Keefe is beefing his latest video not being played on news outlets.
That's because it needs to be checked out before being aired.

Slowly fact checked like all the flimsy accusations hurled at Trump the past week.

[Hume’s excuse for not covering O’Keefe’s first video]

BRIT and others have seen the ratings demise of anti-TRUMPSTER MEGAN KELLY and are under pressure to respond.

They didn’t check out the accusations of trump supporters beating up people now did they? They just reported and reported and reported it over and over again that Trump rallies were full of dangerous and racist people.

Turns out people were paid to disrupt the rallies imagine that .

O’Keefe should not expect immediate airplay. Give it some time. The truth will come out. He’s on the right side.

I would say to Brit that just James releasing it makes it newsworthy, quite apart from its specific content.

Hey, Brit. Why don’t you let Megan check it out tonight between the covers? But, hey, at least you mentioned it.

James apparently hasn’t been reading the emails. The press is in bed with Hillary. They don’t run bad stuff about Hillary. Why should they start tomorrow?

The big problem is even if Trump wins big with the machine allow it to stand? Will they even report that he won? I say the phony polls are so they can say “See? We told you he couldn’t win. Look at the polls.”

Yeah sure sure, Brit. The same way you checked out allegations of touching someone 30 years ago that just magically pop up 3 weeks before the election.

I guess Brit thinks the videos have been altered.

“That’s because it needs to be checked out before being aired.”

As I am sure, had this been a video making Trump look bad, this video would not have totally been played on every channel all day since 12:01 this morning in a continuous loop

Hume's excuse for not covering O'Keefe's first video: Brit Hume ‏@brithume 3h 3 hours ago James O'Keefe is beefing his latest video not being played on news outlets. That's because it needs to be checked out before being aired.

To which O'Keefe replied:

"For the record, I reached out to Fox News reporters a week ago willing to have them take a look at everything. I’m waiting for a call back."

Here's how they check it out - Brit Hume: Sorry, we asked the DNC if this is true and they said "no,' so no story, folks.

Horse puckey!!! Someone needs to clue Hume in to the fact that NONE of the groping claims against Trump have been checked out. None have been proven true. If anything, several have already been soundly debunked.

#21 Did Brit post that without first vetting it with the Clinton Campaign?

Up yours Brit, we'll be the judge of that.

We don't need RATagandists to pre-chew our news. The American People have a right to know.

Yeah Brit, that video is so easy to forge.

For heaven’s sake, did he honestly say that?

So why is it that => VIDEO <= needs to be checked out but the simple verbal accusations without a shred of proof about events that supposedly happened 10-20-30yrs ago can be broadcast immediately?!?

“Checked out” in newspeak means “coordinate our rebuttals by all news outlets.” This one will be hard to rebut, though, even by the dishonest media.

Hannity is on the same channel as Hume and he ran part of it and had a list of items from Podesta emails on the screen. Ansley’s partial interview with Melania on now and full interview on F&F in am
