Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume told "The Story" Tuesday that the coverage of the FBI's Russia investigation has proved to be the "worst journalistic fiasco" in half a century. FLYNN JUDGE TO ALLOW 'AMICUS' SUBMISSIONS, DELAYING ANY IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION TO CASEHume told host Martha MacCallum that while it is not clear whether former President Barack Obama "directed" the Russia investigation behind the scenes, coverage of the probe has been a low point in the history of American reporting. "As for the journalism involved in the pursuit of that story, the collusion narrative that we lived with for so very long before it was blown up in the Mueller report, it was the worst journalistic fiasco of my more than 50-some years of journalism," Hume said. "It was a disaster." "The Washington Post and The New York Times pursued it relentlessly: Their coverage did not reflect any real doubt that it may not turn out to be true at any time, and in the end it all blew up."
