Brit Hume Must Resign | Oliver Willis Brit Hume Must Resign | Oliver Willis Brit Hume is the anchor of Fox News Channel's prime time news report, Special Report with Brit Hume, and he makes things up. On February 3rd, Hume intentionally manipulated the words of the 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to make it appear as if FDR supported privatization of social security. This is a brazen falsehood. President Roosevelt's grandson, James Roosevelt Jr., describes Hume's journalistic malfeasance as an "an outrageous distortion". We agree. 10:43:51 AM    comment []

Bob Wills, the Fiddler of Western Swing Bob Wills, the Fiddler of Western Swing: "Bob Wills would have been 100 years old today. NPR's John Burnett takes a look at the life of the man who with his band, the Texas Playboys, combined jazz and country music to create Western Swing." (Via NPR's Weekend Edition - Sunday.) Nice little segment, though I would have preferred more music and less biography. I'm listening to the Best of Bob Wills now. "Time Changes Everything." 10:28:07 AM    comment []
