Fair, Balanced & Unafraid: Brit Hume Retiring from Evening News
Posted by iusbvision on December 24, 2008
Brit Hume, who is likely the best and brightest journalist alive, has retired from his news show “Special Report with Brit Hume” today.
When Dan Rather, Charlie Gibson, Peter Jennings, and Tom Brokaw gave a news story, they gave the same stories, with the same leftist spin and often with talking heads that all sounded alike. Even was I was eight years old I remember very well that I never trusted them.
The only ones who were ever different when I was growing up were Brit Hume and Chris Wallace. While I am still old enough to remember Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley as I became politically aware they were doing news specials and the like and less of the daily evening news broadcasts.
As a writer, journalist, and news analyst no one has had more influence upon me than Brit Hume and while my writing still might not yet meet his standards I can say that I would not have the skills I have today if it were not for Brit Hume’s example.
Hume will be doing more commentary and specials, but has indicated that he will fill in on “Special Report” from time to time. I can’t wait to see what Brit Hume has in store for us next. Below is a tribute to Brit that was aired on “Special Report” today:
