IF indeed this is true... Is Brit Hume the only broadcaster on Fox Noise Channel? If yes, then I might have to agree with you, but alas, he is only one of many, most of whom wouldn't know what fair or balanced meant if it ran over them...

That's a damn good question, Michael and one I haven't heard a single conservative answer...
nope, to me either...
and you know what else?

you like confrontation, as a bottom line. hume's statements are neither here nor there. no one is 100 % objectiive, but you try. fox noise is 100 % not objective, and err'body knows it

discussion yes, confrontation, no...
well it's wrong on all counts... it's not fair, it's not balanced and it's not objective...

If you made a claim that the moon is made of green cheese, wouldn't make it so... without a link proving it...
