Hume added of MRC: "I don’t know what we would have done without them"
From the Media Research Center's 2009 Gala, "[f]eaturing the DisHonors Awards and the William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence":
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.

The myth of Fox News' ratings spike
So the long time poombah of FNC just admitted that he is lazy and biased and just picked stories & links from the conservative one-sided MRC?
Nice!
Now anyone who goes on the FNC panels can look him straight in the eye and call him a self-admitted liar whenever he spouts off about FAIR & BALANCED.
Using fact-based sources is one thing. Using a biased and dishonest site like MRC is another.
Claiming that FoxNews is fair and balanced, while using MRC as a major provider of stories, is scummy.
EVERY journalist has sources of their own,
The difference, bub, is that Fox uses sources that LIE. Now tell me, is being lied to good for America? Do you like being lied to? Or are you too dense to even realize when you're being lied to?
