Brit Hume, Tiger Woods and Why the Powerful Behave Badly

By Jeffrey Weiss - Politics Daily

Nothing that Brit Hume said in his long and distinguished career as a newsman has come close to stirring up as much response as his recent evaluation of the religious needs of Tiger Woods. In case you missed it, Hume, in his newer role of Fox News analyst, offered some advice to the multiple philanderer Tiger Woods: "He's said to be a Buddhist; I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.' ...

Maybe Brit Hume Should Preach Buddhism . . .

By David Gibson - Politics Daily

...And maybe Tiger Woods, who has described himself as a Buddhist, should become a bit more observant. As everyone knows by now, Brit Hume, the Fox News analyst, used last Sunday morning's talk show to advise the serially adulterous golfer "to turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." And as we wrote here, Hume made his pitch in part by comparing Buddhism unfavorably with Christianity -- a characterization that was disputed by many Buddhists, and one that I also took issue with by noting data showing that Christians don't seem to be ...

Game On: Tiger Gets Boost From a Big Sponsor

By David Knowles - AOL News

(Jan. 5) -- In the wake of revelations about his personal life, Tiger Woods has lost corporate sponsors, friends and fans. But not everyone has abandoned the golfing prodigy. EA Sports announced today that it will release a new video game this month titled Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. As the company's president, Peter Moore, told The Associated Press, the reason EA Sports remains bullish on Woods is that he is "still one of the greatest athletes in history." EA Sports has also made an estimated $670 million from Woods-related games, the AP reported. Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair/AP Tiger ...

Brit Hume Stands by Call for Tiger Woods to Convert to Christianity

By David Sessions - Politics Daily

Brit Hume drew quite a bit of criticism when he suggested on "Fox News Sunday" that Tiger Woods' Buddhist faith is insufficient to deal with the golfer's personal problems and that he should convert to Christianity as a path to "forgiveness and redemption." (Analysis by Politics Daily's David Gibson here.) On Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday night, Hume denied that he was proselytizing, but said he did indeed mean to say that Woods should embrace the Christian faith. According to Politico's Michael Calderone, Hume reiterated his belief that "Jesus Christ offers Tiger Woods something that ...

Brit Hume: Tiger Woods Should 'Turn to the Christian Faith'

By David Sessions - Politics Daily

On "Fox News Sunday" yesterday, Fox anchor Brit Hume suggested that Tiger Woods should trade his Buddhist faith for Christianity if he wants to make a personal comback. When host Chris Wallace asked the show's roundtable to predict the biggest sports story of 2010, Hume said:"Tiger Woods will recover as a golfer. Whether he can recover as a person I think is a very open question, and it's a tragic situation for him. I think he's lost his family, it's not clear to me if he'll be able to have a relationship with his children, but the Tiger Woods that emerges once the news value dies out of this ...

The Scoop on New Obama Puppy Bo and His Powerful Enemies

By Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily

The hottest stories of this Monday morning both involve water. First, there's the dramatic rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates, and the revelation of the new First Puppy, a Portuguese Water Dog named "Bo."Media speculation about the Obamas' dog reached a fever pitch last week, as even the President had acknowledged the protracted nature of the search, saying in January that "This has been tougher than finding a commerce secretary." Over the weekend, the story exploded all over the internet, with a small website stealing the scoop from the Washington Post, and the rest of the ...
