You have to read this to believe it:

Geneva Overholser, former ombudsman of The Washington Post, has resigned from the board of the National Press Foundation because it plans to honor Fox News anchor Brit Hume at its annual dinner in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 19.

Past recipients of the group's Sol Taishoff award include TV newscasters David Brinkley, Dan Rather, John Chancellor, Jane Pauley, Barbara Walters and Nina Totenberg.

Hume, the ABC White House correspondent who joined Fox in 1996 and anchors a nightly newscast, doesn't deserve the award because he and Fox practice ''ideologically connected journalism,'' Overholser says.

Go ahead, read that list of previous award winners again.

Oh, what the hell, here's a bigger list of past winners:

2002 - Cokie Roberts, ABC News
2001 - Bob Schieffer, CBS News
2000 - Peter Jennings, ABC News
1999 - Judy Woodruff, CNN
1998 - Nina Totenberg, National Public Radio
1997 - Sam Donaldson, ABC News
1996 - Dan Rather, CBS News
1995 - Jane Pauley, NBC News
1994 - Bernard Shaw, CNN
1993 - Barbara Walters, ABC News
1992 - Ed Bradley, CBS News
1991 - Ken Burns, film maker
1990 - Roone Arledge, ABC News
1989 - David Brinkley, ABC News
1988 - Brian Lamb, C-SPAN
1987 - Ted Turner, CNN
1986 - Don Hewitt, CBS
1985 - Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer, MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour
1984 - John Chancellor, NBC News
1983 - Ted Koppel, ABC News

No goddam ideological tilt THERE, folks. Really. None at all. If there is a single Republican on that list, I'd love to hear about it.

Cokie friggin Roberts???
