Those who don’t follow Brit Hume on Twitter are missing out on some real gems of wisdom from the Fox News senior political analyst.

In his latest offering, Hume brilliantly exposed a lie from The New York Times’ new publisher, A.G. Sulzberger.

In what was billed as “A Note From Our New Publisher,” Sulzberger noted that it was his vision “to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion.”

But Hume smacked that offering back like Dikembe Mutombo swatted jump shots by calling out the “paper of record.”

“Note the renewed commitment to ‘all shades of opinion.’ This from the new leader of a paper with not a single columnist who supports the President,” Hume tweeted. “Will this publisher change that?”

Speaking of President Trump, he offered his congratulations to Sulzberger on social media, saying it may be The Times’ last chance “to fulfill the vision” of its founder.

A social media user questioned Hume’s choice of words, prompting him to clarify the point he was making did not apply to reporters:

That’s true of reporters but not of editorial writers and columnists whose job it is to express opinion. That’s what he means by “all shades of opinion,” which certainly are not represented in the Times today.

Here’s a sampling of other responses from Twitter, including one social media user who agreed with Trump that this could be a pivotal moment for the media:

It's still just a ritzy tabloid. https://t.co/dVMVxBwE4G

I would rather see more diversity of ideaology and philosophy than support of (or opposition to) any individual. I don't believe that that is an appropriate criterion for any non-partisan media organization. https://t.co/hf9YNcWOQF

They think 'some shades of opinion' are not worthy…no matter what they say. https://t.co/d1v1FIYgcr

Well, he certainly writes elegantly..

However if he is bereft of discernment from God.. then all they become is pretty empty words on a computer screen..

But if his heart is true, then there mayb hope for NYT.. Time will tell..

The @nytimes is a Democratic Party house organ for spreading socialist populism through vanguard opposition propaganda and support for democratic socialists like @SenSanders and @BilldeBlasio.
