Brit Hume NOT shocked by reporter's accidental voicemail slam on Republican John James

As Twitchy told you Monday, a reporter for a local paper in Michigan left a voicemail for Republican Senate hopeful John James, who is running to unseat incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow. The problem was that the reporter didn’t hang up the phone after leaving a message for the James campaign, and, well, she let her personal feelings fly:

Color Fox News’ Brit Hume NOT particularly surprised:

No one who has spent a lot of time around reporters will be surprised by what she said, only that she was too inept to disconnect the call. https://t.co/mn7asBplzx

If they were being completely honest, would many other reporters be surprised?

Nothing to see here, no bias. https://t.co/DxGsaeHiHZ
