Is Fox News Dumping Brit Hume?
Has Money Become the Only Goal for Fox?
            When a reporter for the Boston Globe, Nina Easton, appears on the panel at the Brit Hume show night-after-night, one has to wonder.
            Is the smell of success causing the Australian press mogul, Rupert Murdoch, who appears to control Fox News, anxious to consolidate his profits and take all he can?
            The citizens of Massachusetts understand the Boston Globe (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the New York Times and Pinch Sulzberger) better than anyone else in the country can imagine. Do we have to endure constant deceit and mistruths in the Globe every day. Now do we have to endure this on TV as well?
            The problem for Rupert Murdoch is that he can lose his television audience just as fast as he gained it when the normal, non-liberal audience discovered Brit Hume a few years ago. Now that Fox has become a power in America, Murdoch appears ready to throw it all overboard.
            We've published articles recently which show the chicanery of the Globe's Washington bureau (where Ms. Easton works), including the story about Justice Alito's wife who left the Senate chambers in tears after a Senator said some kind words about her (and her husband). But the Globe reported in its headlines that she left because she was distraught and could no longer stand listening to unkind words said against her husband.
            There was a silly show on Sunday about whether Pres. Bush had a warning that the levees at New Orleans would be breached. Brit (who appears on the panel on Sundays) was the only participant who told the truth. Included was the neo-conservative Bill Kristol (son of Irving Kristol) who runs the Weekly Standard magazine, which is financed by Rupert Murdoch. He argued against Brit and made it 3-1 that Bush was culpable even though Brit pointed out that the A.P. story which made the attack was incorrect.
            All of our readers also understand that A.P. is a cooperative that is owned by the newspapers of the country and controlled by the largest ones, namely the New York Times. It is just another organ for Pinch Sulzberger to spread his manure upon the citizens of the country.
            Mr. Murdoch has to learn that the citizens do have an alternative. Not many years ago there were four or five newspapers in major cities, including Boston. Now we have one dominate newspaper and one just trying to hang-on.
            We do have the Internet. We at MassNews now have over 100,000 people coming to our daily website and it's growing every day. But we take no pleasure in that if it means that Brit Hume is going to be hobbled by Fox News. If that continues, Murdoch will have killed the goose that lay the golden egg.
            If you agree, perhaps you should let them know.
