When Nancy Pelosi was sworn in as Speaker, I literally heard at least 5 different programs spend minute after minute analyzing the suit she was wearing, I think one of them even managed to get the name of the designer! The sheer sexism was so obvious that it even got through my thick skin. Yet rivers of outrage were not spent on the matter, nor are they spent when anti-woman or anti-X religion words are used. But race is a whole different ballgame? Why? How does society benefit from all this faux outrage?

The rest of the media are nothing but hacks peddling infotainment making them nothing at all other than useless.

Fox is almost entirely, blatantly off the tilt to the right tho.

granted, if he had said “bomb thrower” then he could have avoided the “macaca” remarks. but you have to stretch really really hard to find a racial slur in that sentence. it’s just not there.

for the record, i hate bigotry only slightly more than i hate brit hume. but i think there’s no there here, kids.

It was more accurate than “attack dog” or “spear carrier.”

In a liberal media he certainly stands out for that reason. (Look at what the rest of the media think of Fox, and more broadly, which media source journalists widely identify as conservative.)

I thought he’d be passed off as just another teleprompter reading newsie hack (liberal all of course), but nope, he’s been officially called a Republican LMAO I love it.

Ni macaca ni cabron. Liberals more irritated at Hume would say pendejo instead.

Aside from this story, it amazes me that Brit Hume is still often recognized as an unbiased journalist. Especially after his rant about Murtha in February:

HUME: That sound bite from John Murtha suggests that it’s time a few things be said about him. Even the “Washington Post” noted he didn’t seem particularly well informed about what’s going on over there, to say the least. Look, this man has tremendous cache among House Democrats, but he is not — this guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world.

And that sound bite is naivete writ large, and the man is an absolute fountain of such talk, and the fact that he has ascended to the position he has in the eyes of the Democrats in the House and perhaps Democrats around the country tells you a lot about how much they know or care about what’s really going on over there.
