Fox News Channel analyst and former anchor Brit Hume asserted Monday night that for Benghazi “to become the scandal it surely deserves to be will require another ingredient: Relentless news coverage of the kind the media typically avoid when the subject is someone or some cause they favor.” He explained: “That’s why the Gosnell abortion horrors were played down for so long and that’s why the…

Fox News's Brit Hume had a marvelous observation on Monday's Special Report concerning Barack Obama's recent charm offensive. "It was a remarkably sudden conversion by the President from an attitude of, you know, 'Up yours, I don’t need you' to 'I want to get together and talk with all of you.'”
