Plenty of people have accused Brit Hume of Fox News of being a right-wing hack. In a helpful gesture, Hume has now confirmed this fact for us. He did it while he was being granted the “3rd Annual William F. Buckley Jr. Award for Media Excellence” by the conservative Media Research Center. To give you some context, the MRC gave its 2007 award to Rush Limbaugh. Yeah. That’s their idea of “media excellence.” Here’s Hume:
HUME: I want to say a word, however, of thanks, to [Media Research Center president] Brent [Bozell] and to the team at the Media Research Center and all the contributors who make that work there possible. Not just for this wonderfully – this wonderfully fine award in the name of someone as I say I admire so much, but also for the tremendous amount of material that the Media Research Center provided me for so many years when I was anchoring Special Report. I don’t know what we would have done without them. It was a daily, sort of a buffet of material to work from, and we – we — we certainly made tremendous use of it.
Lovely. And unsurprising, of course.
