Hume has been hammering the Chicom flu. He’s a beltway lifer. One of the few in beltway media actually supporting POTUS these days. Pick another target.

[Kaslin]

If you put the mask on without washing your hands, yeah there are danger of infections. Are your SIL and Nephew so ignorant not to realize that?

[Rebelbase]

Wasn’t Brit one of the personal mentors responsible for Megyn Kelly’s quick rise in position?

[Kaslin]

Are you standing behind him and look over his shoulder when he votes?

[hal ogen]

It wasn’t a “fiasco”. It was intentional treason ans sedition by pathetic, integrity-free “journalists” with no sense of ethics. Arrest these dishonest leftist hacks.

“Are you standing behind him and look over his shoulder when he votes?”

Yes. I do that.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

The ONLY way to cure it would be to send a regiment of marines out to each “news” room and rake it with automatic weapons.

If things keep going the same way, this is inevitable.

Except it won't be only Marines, but citizens as well.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Are your SIL and Nephew so ignorant not to realize that?”

Opinions are like assholes, y’know.

I’m proud of them. Masks are Petri dishes. Just as Cuomo learned that being homebound caused MORE infections, we’ll soon learn that maskes are doing the same thing.

[Kaslin]

You must be mistaking Glenn Beck

For someone with the name of Ben Gleck

[Ken Regis]

“...Pick another target.”

It looks like you’ve already done that for me.

Multiple bogeys — no problem.

LOL

The UK is partly open and people are going to work but the BBC will have none of it , their news channel is going OMG people are not wearing masks on the bus and OMG all it takes is one to infect thousands . Boris should shut down the BBC ,LOL

Oh, and that anonymous source who said Donald Trump knew about his son’s meeting with some Russians in Trump Tower during the 2016 election, which turned out to be a colossal waste of time as the meeting was not what they thought would be the topic of discussion, blew up as well. The source was longtime Democratic lawyer Lanny Davis, who served as counsel to Trump defector Michael Cohen. Davis retracted the whole story and apologized for being “cute” about it. He admitted that it could not be corroborated and doubted if it was accurate. Then, there's Van Jones, CNN contributor and former Obama official, who said the collusion story is a nothing burger. What about Brian Ross? The now-ex-ABC News reporter dropped a story that was fake and tanked the markets. He took to air saying that during the 2016 election candidate Trump ordered Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians. Well, it didn’t take long for the timeline to reveal that this order was given after the 2016 election by President-elect Trump, as this was run-of-the-mill transition moves from a new incoming administration. Yeah, this is what killed the narrative that Trump’s tweeting was harmful, not nearly as bad as when Ross opens his mouth. Remember, this is the guy who said the Aurora shooter might be a Tea Party member. This was also taken to air without proper vetting. Ross is trash, but so are a lot of his colleagues. And these are just some of the bombshells that turned out to be baseless gossip. It was considered tin foil hat talk to suggest that Michael Flynn was the victim of an FBI run amok. It’s not. New documents show that Flynn was the subject of an entrapment plot spearheaded by the bureau’s top brass, like James Comey and Andrew McCabe, both disgraced, who wanted to get Flynn no matter what. We have former Obama officials going on MSNBC and claiming they have evidence of collusion when they really have none. That was exposed in a document dump from acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell. So, you can see why Hume said this story was the “worst journalistic fiasco” he’s seen in his entire career (via Washington Examiner):

Yup.

Brit Hume realizes that he was not the most informed journalist the past 4 years.

It's not that he wasn't "informed."

Like everyone else around him, he giant bag of s**t who knew exactly what was going on.

[servantboy777]

Journalistic fiasco? lol

No...naked leftist propagandist doing what they do to further the cause. Spew propaganda.

Folks, we ARE in a civil war. It may be a not-so-civil Civil war, but it is a war for the soul of this nation.

Lately, it appears the left are going for the Cloward-Piven strategy in earnest. Collapse our welfare system and usher in socialism by using the whole Covid-19 thing to give away as much as they can, even to those who do not belong in this country.

[Old Sarge]

it appears the left are going for the Cloward-Piven strategy in earnest.

I thought I was the last FReeper to remember that phrase.

[JayAr36]

How in the world can anyone use the term journalist when speaking of the propaganda arm of the d’rats. The definition no more fits then calling an auto an airplane.

[Artcore]

News Flash!!! I didn’t write the article. *rme*

....

Um, not sure why you’re telling me this? My comments were addressed to Brit.
