Shame on You Fox News

I was in Grapevine Texas for my job, and it happened to be "Super Tuesday".

After a twelve hour day on the job, I was thrilled to plop onto my hotel bed and turn on the television to see where things stood with the primary. . I am not anti-Republican. I have voted Republican in the past. But I am voting for Obama this year because I am sick and tired of the direction this country is taking on so many levels.

First, I watched some local coverage in Dallas. A reporter with the local television station freaked out when her ear piece wasn't working, giving the camera a bug eyed "don't come to ME!" look before they opted to hit another correspondent. Then I turn to CNN. I'm not a fan of ANY news network, but my brother Rafer is now the sportscaster for CNN with Robin Meade in the mornings, so I try to make it my choice when choosing to learn about the "gloom and doom" of the world. They talked about how Hillary won Ohio, but Texas was too close to call. So I continue to channel surf- and wind up on FOX- and find Britt Hume. My son is named Britt after my husband's side of the family. I wanted to listen to Mr. Hume. But the tone of his voice reminded me of the Doctor who told me my Dad had brain cancer; low, gloomy, and pathetic... "It seems that Hillary Clinton has won Ohio. I guess Texas is uh, too close to call at this point," Britt uttered with a low energy SIGH..... I literally laughed out loud at the television.

I've seen apathetic journalists before, but this guy should be ashamed of himself.

As I continued to watch him "interview" others, I literally got the feeling his inner monologue was "I hate these assholes."

That was mine as I watched him speak...

"I guess we will watch this for now- and see where it goes..." he quipped as Hillary started to thank the people of Ohio for their support. Then FOX News put up a picture of her where she looked like a 300 pound man. They couldn't have found a more unflattering photo if they tried.

Well, guess what Britt, either a woman, or a black man will be the President. Put THAT in your Fox pipe and smoke it!
