Sure, this is a detailed explanation:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200502160003

Bear in mind besides Hume, other right-wing talking heads like Sean Hannity repeated this lie over and over.

If you want the media criticisms to be taken seriously find a neutral source, not an anti-Conservative site.

Media Matters considers any story which does not call George W. Bush a mas smurderer who enjoys slitting the throats of babies horribly biased in his favor.

Why read what other people say FDR said when we can read what was actually in the document in question?   (Note that the first part of the speech is not here for the sake of brevity.  The parts in duspite are included and the bits around them to ensure they are in context.)

The bit in bold is the relevant bit.  Did Brit Hume accurately quote what FDR said?  Yes, it is exactly in there.  Did FDR suggest the creation of a private annuity account?  Yes.  Is that similar (though not necessarily exactly like) the current proposals?  Yes, it is.

Sorry to bring  alittle thing like facts, first hand sources and reality into this.

I watch FoxNews all the time...even Fox&Friends is obviously biased. They are all clearly conservative, and support the Republican party. It's just painfully obvious...you're kidding yourself if you don't see it.

American Morning on CNN is somewhat more politically correct, and the main hosts don't take sides at all (much different from Fox&Friends). The old guy (forget his name) does though and seems like a populist more then anything. He tends to say things that are very un-politically correct, which are met with uncomfortable laughter or akward stares by the rest of the cast.

Fox and Friends is pathetic.  Terrible piece of programming.
