From The Mind Of Brit Hume !!! --- Boy... Was HE Wrong, LOL !!!

[WillyT]

ROFLMFAO !!! - Bwahahahahahahahah !!! - CHECK THIS OUT !!!

Prediction from a 1995 interview (with Hume):

<snip>

"The Internet is an interesting phenomenon. My sense of it is that in ten years, or fifteen perhaps, we'll all be saying, 'Hey, you remember the Internet?' And we'll all laugh about it. It reminds me of the bulletin board world that existed ten years ago. There was tremendous enthusiasm and excitement among computer buffs about all the things that were possible in that domain. And of course in those days we were talking about the early days of CompuServe and some of the same information services, and there was some of the same enthusiasm expressed there about educational opportunity and e-mail and all the things you could do. It seems to me distinctly possible that a number of people, particularly in the academic world, are getting important work done with help from the Internet, but it is not at all clear to me that it is a very widespread situation."

Good to know we have a journalist of the caliber of Brit Hume at the helm of America's most watched corporate media. What foresight the man has!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

BTW - Anybody know what the deal was with his son's suicide? I don't remember Hume being such a total prick until the last several years. Was it that that pushed him to the dark side, or is it the fact that Faux News would expect nothing less?

:shrug:

1. I bet ABC is embarrassed he ever worked for them.

He's a piece of work.

[TheFarseer]

2. Sounds like wishful thinking

We all know the pukes want to shut down the internet. Or at least make it so all you can do on it is buy cheep Chinese crap.

[politicaholic]

3. He can make a profit off of tragic death, but not the internet?

Sure, buy futures as they go down in reaction to the London bombings, but don't cash in on the millionair machine that was the internet from 1994 to 1999.

What a friggin' dip shit.

[tridim]

4. No surprise there..

I still remember the first minute I saw the Internet.. It was in 1989, and my friend showed me how I could dial in to the university's VAX machine (for free BTW) and have instant access to thousands of other computer's files (Through telnet and "Archie" at the time, http didn't exist yet). It took me about 30 seconds before I proclaimed, "Wow, this is going to change everything".

Brit Hume is a dumb shit.

[WillyT]

6. Yep... And The Beauty Here Is, It's Come Back To Bite Him On The Ass !!!

Everybody is checking in with what the bloggers are saying these days, true...

But, once again, imagine what this administration would be getting away with if there were no internet, and we all had to rely on shit like Fox News???

:scared::scared::scared:

The internet is probably the only thing preventing complete division and conquest by these bastards!

:shrug:

5. The man is a corp whore...whatever he sez is suspect...what has he grown

11. He was essentially spouting the company line set down by Rupert Murdoch.

If memory serves, Murdoch only just recently changed his mind about the viability of the internet in an interview or speech. If Rupert changed his mind, you can expect Brit's mind to have changed in a likewise manner an email later.

[Zen Democrat]

12. Nah. He's always been a prick.

At the Rose Garden ceremony following Ruth Bader Ginsberg's confirmation, Brit Hume asked a question that was a dig at Clinton - inferring that Clinton had bungled the selection process - and Clinton was visibly angered by it. Hume later wrote:

"A public snit at a mere reporter risks diminishing the dignity of his office and making the President appear less than the commanding and magnanimous figure that Americans think their president should
be. After the seeming disarray of the selection process, it would
seem that the last thing Mr. Clinton needed was to seem not in
control of himself."

Remember also that Hume had private tennis games at the White House with Poppy Bush. He's always been their boy.

[proud patriot]

13. I wonder if he still feels that way

:evilgrin:
