Journalists are charged with reporting the truth to the public. Brit Hume has blatently and knowingly tried to fool his viewers, using maliciously constructed out-of-context quotes, into believing that FDR would have supported Bush's Social Security scheme--a scheme which is nothing but a pretense to eliminate any meaningful form of Social Security. Hume is dishonest and unworthy of the soapbox which he currently commands. FDR's own grandson has called for Hume's resignation. (http://mediamatters.org/items/200502160003)

Brit Hume should do the honorable thing, admit that he betrayed his viewer's trust by knowingly misrepresenting FDR using out of out-of-context quotes, and resign from Fox News.
