Fox News Figures Slam Torture on Online Show, When Will Fox Let Them on Cable?
This is great anti-torture stuff from two high-profile regular Fox News commentators. The only problem is that it’s being kept on a little-watched online show, rather than on Fox News’ regular programming:
Keeping this guys off the air is a national disaster. At the end of the day, this is the way you could build a national consensus against torture. The fact that conservative media figures with credibility to conservative audiences have apparently sound anti-torture views is something the audience for conservative cable news needs to hear. But as best I can tell, Fox is making sure that this kind of material doesn’t get aired on their network, even though they eagerly trot Napolitano out any time his legal analysis supports the conservative position of the day.

Fox News Panel Pans Jindal
I thought Bobby Jindal was a weird choice for the SOTU response. Everybody knows these things usually don’t go well. Why make the national introduction of your erstwhile rising star a situation in which he has an 80% chance of sucking? And it’s also strange to give it to a 2012 primary candidate—seems like you’re playing favorites. At any rate, I thought the base might like Jindal’s text, but eve the Fox News panel couldn’t stomach the delivery:
I thought Alex Massie had a great react piece to the main speech, capturing the atmosphere and the larger significance of the moment.
