Brit Hume to Retire

Here is a link to a Washington Post story about an event I wish wasn't happening. Brit Hume, clearly the adult supervision at Fox News, is retiring from full-time employment. We will continue to see him as a senior statesman on the network. He will be missed.

Hume's Special Report is the only news show on Fox which I semi-regularly watch. Shep Smith does "news lite," Greta does not-interesting crime, Colmes of Hannity and Colmes is a smirking jerk, and O'Reilly is self-absorbed to the point of narcissism. And no, I don't think Chris Wallace can fill Brit's shoes. Hume is the real deal, most of the rest are not.
