Brit Hume

Brit Hume
I suspect people channel-surf, as they tend to everywhere. But I'm told that we're not much on at the State Department, so we'll have to look into that.
Brit Hume
I think we're giving people something new that people didn't know was out there before.
Brit Hume
We've had a series of major news stories that have brought in viewers who either were sampling to see what else was available or were normal news watchers. The Florida recount and the end of the election was a huge development. And then 9/11 came along.
Brit Hume
When you're five years old, and you're running a business that people did not think there was room for... getting attention is not a bad thing. And letting it be known by whatever colorful language is necessary what the facts are is not a bad thing.
Brit Hume
In America today, if your sensibilities are offended by something that has happened, you get an enormous amount of credibility and are taken very seriously.
Brit Hume
We need more foreign reach no question about that. And we're working on getting that. We need more people abroad we need some more bureaus... That is really an important job.
Brit Hume
Our emphasis on political coverage from the day we were born here was well-founded, and we believe there were opportunities there that we could do it in a more interesting, appealing and balanced way.
Brit Hume
Ted Cruz has struggled, and Donald Trump, of course, has been the big winner the last two outings. And the polling that we have, some of it is a week old. In fact, I think that's the latest poll suggests that he has a strong lead here. And therefore should be expected to win.
Brit Hume
We've had a chance to be seen by viewers who had never seen us before, and we've kept a lot of them.
Brit Hume
Fox News has learned some United States investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the United States, who may have known things they didn't tell us before September 11, 2001.
