On Saturday morning he was riffling through the Twitter-verse on the hunt for anything he could spin to tickle the fancy of of Fox&#8217;s fave fascismo, Donald Trump. And, lo and behold, he stumbled onto a video of Sen. Kamala Harris campaigning in Columbia, South Carolina. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is just embarrassing. So now journalists are going shopping with Harris, helping pick out clothes and then putting out glowing tweets about it. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RX2IY0B8JL\">https:\/\/t.co\/RX2IY0B8JL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brit Hume (@brithume) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brithume\/status\/1096821175701983233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This video shows Harris visiting a boutique during a campaign swing that featured small businesses owned by women. Ordinarily that would seem to be an admirable recognition of an important, and too often neglected, constituency. It is certainly a sector of the electorate that both Trump and Fox News generally ignore, when they aren&#8217;t insulting them. But for Hume to complain that this was somehow <em>&#8220;embarrassing&#8221;<\/em> just boggles the mind.<\/p>\n<p>Hume was triggered by what is merely a human interest clip of a candidate interacting with voters. The video was posted by CBS News reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns. There was nothing <em>&#8220;glowing&#8221;<\/em> about it. It was a typical observation of a candidate in the field. There are thousands of these presented in every election for every candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Someone needs to remind Hume that he works for the network that serves as the dedicated PR division of the Trump White House. Everyone from their morning suck-ups on Fox and Friends, to their primetime knob polishers, do nothing but deliver video wet kisses to Trump (which <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40495\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hasn&#8217;t been working out very well for them in the ratings<\/a><\/strong>). The biggest star on Fox News, Sean Hannity, unleashes slobbering poems of political devotion every night. He has even appeared on stage with Trump at his cult rallies (and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40515\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump has returned the favor with promotional tweets<\/a><\/strong>). That&#8217;s true for several other Foxies also, including Brian Kilmeade, Pete Hegseth, Laura Ingraham, and Jeanine Pirro. These are people who unambiguously campaign for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>If Hume is so concerned about an eleven second video of Harris in a local shop, what does he have to say about hours of Fox News cameras focused on a stationary plane that Trump was expected to come out of? What does he have to say about hours of uninterrupted broadcasts of Trump&#8217;s hate-filled and that contained zero newsworthiness? What does he have to say about the dozens of interviews (more than forty so far) that Trump has done with Fox News as President, while doing none with CNN or MSNBC during that time?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a superb example of the tunnel-blindness of Fox News.
