Brit does not suffer fools gladly!
Absolutely the best hour on television.
It's funny how he hypes the Grapevine - "the most scintillating two minutes in television".
The panel is fun here. When "the panel" is being introduced, there is a cheer or boo for each participant. There is a BIG cheer when Juan Williams is NOT on the panel.
What this country desperately needs is more honest journalists, and ones who are willing to fight to be fair.
Actually, both Juan and NPR babe have moved a bit to the right over the years, due entirely to Brits ability to reason with them without vitriol.
Bernard Goldberg's book, BIAS and Bill Sammon's book on how the media tried to influence the 2000 election on election eve. (sorry I cannot remember the title of Sammon's book)
ABC was his on-the-job training for handling people like Juan Williams - who is a nice guy but very, very ignorant in so many aspects life - like the difference between a boat and a ship and understanding how guys on other boats could still know what was happening on Kerry's boat. Some of his positions in their panel debates make me want to SCREEEEEEEEEM. Brit always handles Juan with patience and tact, but lately I noticed that even Brit is being pushed to the limit with this one.
I like Hume too, but I think you may be getting a little carried away. :)
last night he quipped that the photos of Arafat in his compound with all his friends around looked like "Weekend at Bernies"
What a great line........
Love Brit.
I dunno. My wife goes ape over Brit. Maybe there's something there...
Thank God for Brit. He is what makes FNC. I do miss Tony Snow and wish he had more prime time on Fox.
bttt
The name of Sammon's book is "At Any Cost."
Rev. Moon owns the Washington Times, which employs Sammon. So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that Sammon dedicated one of his books to the man who signs his paychecks.
I agree 100%! Put him and John Gibson together and you have FoxNews in a nutshell. Don't try to put one over on either one of them. I'd be a happy camper if it were just Special Report, the Big Story and Fox & Friends on FoxNews.
"My wife goes ape over Brit."
I got a thing for Brit too. I guess it is his calm way, he is just a teddy bear, one just wants to hug him.
