It is my belief that Fox blurred your name out to prevent giving you some page hits. Fox News viewers might see it and say to themselves, "Who is this Andrew Sullivan bozo anyway? I'll check with Mr. Internet." And then they'd see your site, read what you have to say, and perhaps even wake up a little. Nope, too risky. Better just to make you a blur.
Fox And Friends also trashed the essay this morning, and Fox still refuses to give me any kind of right to reply. How surreal is it for a cable channel to be devoting so much time attacking an essay by someone – but won't have the author on to defend himself. How is that fair or balanced?
