Shame befalls that profession more and more each passing day.
My official Townhall "status": Immensely sad, for a very understandable reason...
Townhall.com::Blog: "A sad milestone is playing out on the television as I scribble these words.
In 1996 he moved into the prime time news life of the American public. Coming over from his assignment at CNN as Senior White House Correspondent Brit Hume was the face of a new energetic work with one simple objective... tell both sides of the story they cover.
It was brilliant, because while they trailed CNN and MSNBC for years in terms of satellite and cable systems that carried their channel, they overtook the two 'elder' cable channels - even before parity in number of outlets.
But within that programming philosophy sat a little hour long feature each night Monday through Friday that did a great deal more than just tell the two sides to every story, but actually educated the viewer with articulate defense from the two sides in a nightly panel. A panel's whose originator--Hume--became the most important ten minutes of television every night.
It wasn't just the panel though, Hume's keen insight, experience, and consummate professional approach to posing the questions, pinning the panelists to questions they did not wish to answer at times also provided some great drama.
He is 65 now. And he wants to spend time with his grandchildren, study his Bible, and if possible play a little golf. Who can blame him?" continued
One thing sad to see is his fellow news people treating this top of the heap journalist's semi retirement as a non event like the babies they are due to the Fox affiliation.
Only liberals can sit with a straight face and describe a news network which they never actually watch that has one liberal and one conservative debate every single news story day in and day out from program to program as unbalanced, as it is they who are the unbalanced ones. AS far as I'm concerned they give liberal spinners too much airtime.
And not reporting the retirement of a fellow news giant like Brit Hume is incredibly biased and what we've come to expect from the newly formed OMC, Obama Media Corps, a worthless propaganda arm that would make Marx and Lenin red faced with joy.
