FOX “News” “journalist“, Brit Hume, seems to think that Democrats are bringing about the loss of the war in Iraq. Shouldn’t a journalist know better than this? Shouldn’t a journalist be smarter than this? One would think so!

I think Brit does, in fact, know better. This is what makes Brit both a shill and a loser.

FOX News’ resident shill and loser, Brit Hume

shill -noun 1. a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc. 2. a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty. loser -noun 1. a person, team, nation, etc., that loses: The visiting team was the loser in the series. 2. Slang. a misfit, esp. someone who has never or seldom been successful at a job, personal relationship, etc.

From Media MATTERS:

Summary: Echoing previous comments by conservative media figures suggesting that Democrats want the United States to lose the war in Iraq, Fox News’ Brit Hume asserted: “The American people don’t like the Iraq war, they probably never will. But they’re not rooting for us to lose; they don’t seem invested in our losing the way the Democrats so often do.” Hume offered no evidence that any Democrats are “invested in our losing” or “rooting for us to lose” in Iraq.
