Pass it on

I'm not the media watcher...especially when the media under examination is a Rupert Murdoch property...but Oliver is. His interests coincide with mine to the degree that I'll support his effort here.

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. (read more)

To intentionally twist the words of the father of social security in order to support a political plan to destroy it is disgusting. Hume has offered no apology nor explanation for his intentional deception. For this fraudulent act, Hume should resign.
