I cannot believe he is 61. I figured he was 45 or so. He has been around a long time but that is what shocked me in the article.

Brit's a good man, I wonder how he stomached ABC all those years.

This is a telling statement by Brit:
"Sometime in the early '80s, I began to look at things differently." He began to observe the national media's coverage of Ronald Reagan, he says, "and I began to think, 'Oh my God. We have a problem here.'"

While there have been many articulate people addressing bias in the media for years, Brit has to be one of the most respected. He consistently exhibits class and true journalistic curiousity. Fox achieved legitimacy in my mind when they hired him.

Great article- thanks for posting!

Brit is the smartest, sexiest man in television news. Or, using one of my kids' expressions (correctly, I hope!), he's ''da bomb''.

He said on air recently (discussing flu shot) that he was 61, and I was pretty shocked too. I really enjoy him on that Fox roundtable show.... to paraphrase another poster, when he looks over those eyeglasses, you know he means business and someone's about to get put in his/her place! I like it best when it's Juan Williams....

Brit is no dope, which makes it all the more surprising that it took him until sometime in the '80's to realize "Oh my God. We have a problem here." But journalism schools brainwash even the best and brightest for a time, I suppos.

**They met in kindergarten and hung together through fifth grade.**

LOL! All the more credit to Brit's "Fair and Balanced" appraisal of Kerry.

"Special Report with Brit Hume" is the best news show on TV!

" Fox achieved legitimacy in my mind when they hired him."

If it wasn't for Hume's show I wouldn't be watching Fox to the extent I do. I can't stand the cable shows where everyone is trying to shout down the other person, or the shows where the panel is weighted heavily in one direction. I just know that one of these days Brit is going to convert Juan Williams. ;^)
