More quotes by 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
We had a couple of minor coups that made a big difference. We snared away from a competitor a correspondent already on the ground in Afghanistan. That was an enormous help to us, because there we were.
Brit Hume
We have a society in which one of the greatest things you can do is a platform to see victim status, and one of the qualifications for that is that you have these exquisitely tender feelings about things and sensibilities which are easily offended.
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.
Brit Hume
Nobody's profitable at this moment, because recession is on advertising dollars are down, and expenses are way up. So that kind of belies the situation that you would expect, because the ratings are way up everywhere.
Brit Hume
There's a certain elitism that has crept into the attitudes of some in journalism, and it played out perfectly over the issue of these little [American flag] lapel pins.
Brit Hume
Television has certain imperatives that CNN had the luxury of ignoring for a long period of time. CNN could take the position that the news would be the star, because in most of the programming day, they were the only all-news operation on the air.
Brit Hume
How can we be isolating ourselves when it's 16 to 3 in NATO for what we want to do?
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
It's not unilateral when it's 16 to 3! Can't you count?
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 don't think very many people would accuse Paula Zahn of being a conservative.
Brit Hume
There have been two Geraldo Riveras through his long career. One of them was a reporter who has done some remarkable work. The other was a television show host who did what it took to get an audience.
Brit Hume
If you've made a mistake, if you've made a blunder, admit it to yourself, and then go to the people affected by it and admit it to them, and tell them you're sorry. Full-heartedly and openly. The fact of the matter is, that people who do that make an enormous impression. It's the right thing to do. It's the moral thing to do.
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
You can make an argument that Bill O'Reilly is a conservative or a Republican. Bill's kind of unpredictable. Somebody might say that he would have been comfortable in the Democratic Party of Scoop Jackson.
Brit Hume
CNN is a more diverse brand. It's spread out over more products over there.
Brit Hume
This is a tough environment, and it's tough for everybody.
Brit Hume
I think we're giving people something new that people didn't know was out there before.
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
