One Small Moment Of Actual Dissent

By The Daily Dish
Sep 29 2009, 12:50 PM ET

I've been invited to appear on Fox News in prime time only once in the past decade, about a decade ago. Sean Hannity used the occasion to say that "homosexuality has never contributed anything to society." Fox's agenda has always been to suppress actual conservative dissent, and to reiterate the GOP talking points of the day against Potemkin "liberals" who, when they don't seem positively scrofulous, tend to look like beauty queens. So it's encouraging to see Bruce Bartlett actually able to make his case on Fox. Cavuto, of course. You don't want your viewers to actually be challenged in prime time - just pandered to. But it's something.
