Think Progress has the coverage on Brit Hume. They catch him in a lie.
That is absurd. No politician among those who have been thoroughly briefed on this claims the briefings were insufficient and vague…Rockefeller does not claim that. Rockefeller has said many things about this program, but he’s — but he has never said that he wasn’t fully briefed that I know of.
Think Progress points out that Senator Rockefeller went back to his office and wrote to Cheney after receiving a briefing:
Clearly, the activities we discussed raised profound oversight issues…I feel unable to evaluate, much less endorse, these activities…without more information…I simply cannot satisfy lingering concerns raised by the briefing…
We have freedom of the press, how about responsibility of the press? How about a license to be on the airwaves? If you seek to mislead and purposely lie in support of a position, you get your license yanked. Brit Hume makes a bundle of cash as the mouthpiece for Fox. I wonder how much of a mouthpiece he would be if he could lose it all tomorrow?
