On Tuesday morning Trump initiated a series of domino retweets aimed at rewarding Hume for his brazenly biased and oblivious lack of insight. Trump retweeted the rabidly right-wing Washington Examiner&#8217;s Mollie Hemingway, who retweeted Hume, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Real news organizations have usually forbidden this, reasoning that journalists should not cover events they have participated in. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xACWbjbdzU\">https:\/\/t.co\/xACWbjbdzU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brit Hume (@brithume) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brithume\/status\/1270151353403346945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What Trump via Hemingway via Hume via Byron York (another Fox News contributor), were referring to was a statement by the chief executive of Axios, Jim VandeHei, who <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/06\/08\/business\/media\/axios-allows-reporters-protest-march.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told the New York Times<\/a><\/strong> that he <em>&#8220;he supported staff members&#8217; right to march in public protests, adding that the publisher would cover bail for any employee who is arrested.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s not a particularly newsworthy comment. It simply affirms that staffers are permitted to exercise their First Amendment rights. It does not, as Trump et al imply, authorize them to introduce bias into their articles or to report on the events in which they participated. In fact, VandeHei reiterated that in his response to the Times.<\/p>\n<p>What stands out in this criticism by Hume is his ability to dissociate from realty with regard to his own network. There is no mass distributed <em>&#8220;news&#8221;<\/em> enterprise that is as blatantly prejudiced as Fox News. Someone should introduce Hume to Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and the <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends. The daily on-air performances of these slavish bootlickers is far worse than being a near anonymous individual among thousands at a public demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>Hume should also be reminded that his Fox News colleagues, Hannity and Pirro, did not merely attend Trump campaign rallies, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39630\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">they were featured, on-stage speakers<\/a><\/strong>. So Hume is outraged if someone is compelled to express themselves on matters of great social significance, like police brutality and equal justice, but he is silent when his buddies are openly stumping for a political candidate.<\/p>\n<p>This makes Hume&#8217;s cranky criticism regarding what constitutes a <em>&#8220;real news organization&#8221;<\/em> all the more poignant, especially as it applies to Fox News itself. Open your friggin&#8217; eyes, Brit, and stop feeding Trump false narratives. Real news organizations have usually forbidden that. Which I guess allows Fox to do it since they have never been a real news organization. Thanks for pointing that out.<\/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\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The schizophrenic ravings of Donald Trump continue to be displayed unabashedly to an astonished world.
