Brit Hume

For reporting that is an embarrassment to the profession of journalism, and for being beholden to corporate paymasters rather than the citizens of America.

Brit Hume has a contrasting style to Bill O'Reilly: Bill shouts and Hume mumbles.

Of course, they both spout the same FOX News propaganda masquerading as fact. It's just that one is a barroom brawler with a tie and the other is a preppy-type whose claim to fame is that he used to play tennis with George Herbert Walker Bush when he was president.

Perspective is a valuable resource, especially when the journey is long. And perhaps for some, the day after the end is too soon. Yesterday was the hangover after the end. The day after the hangover gives you much better perspective.

But as we have seen in the last 24 hours, an extra day does make a difference. For example, Sen. Hillary Clinton has decided to drop out of the race later this week.

You have to admit this is a novel suggestion
That no other rivals have tried;
I think it's because John can't drive at night
And this way he could get a ride.

Media critics and columnists, especially but not exclusively on the right, speak with such authority and bombast that they clearly mean to be taken seriously, expressing ideas for the rest of us to chew on and congratulating themselves for their wit and sagacity.

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
by Christine Bowman

Barack Obama has wrapped up his Democratic primary campaign. Now he has some other campaigns to win.

The fact is Obama must fight a down-and-dirty challenger, in addition to John McCain. He must knock down a campaign of fear-mongering and innuendo at the same time that he confronts John McCain on the policy and capability issues.

Subject: We Are In Good Shape ... Thank God

I do not think that Hillary is a deranged narcissist...neither do I think Barack is what half of the people call him...I have been getting stupid e mails all day from my dear relative who just cannot stand to see the Iraq war end...I only hope and pray that it does!

I think ... things happen for a reason...I think we were blessed with two able candidates...and some of us remembered that Hillary, not even taking it into consideration at the time, voted for the war...or the resolution...whatever, you want to call it ... it came back to haunt her. Those of us completely against the war...see exactly where the Obama voters are coming from ... and thank God...we had the choice.
