Via Oliver Willis.
Brit Hume willfully and intentionally warped FDR's words to make it appear as if FDR supported privatization of social security. This is a brazen falsehood. President Roosevelt's grandson, James Roosevelt Jr., describes Hume's journalistic malfeasance as an "an outrageous distortion".
And anyway, the guy's been dead for like seven years and someone just forgot to tell him to go lie in the ground.
This is a worse scandal than RatherGate (or MemoGate) really because this is intentional misrepresentation of a previous president's beliefs to try and propel the current president's fake crisis agenda.
How Hume calls himself a journalist is beyond me, he's a GOP lapdog, probably a Shih Tzu.
