SHOCKING
Hugh Hewitt catches NPR in a very funny error:
SHOCK JOCK? Shock jock? Yes, that's how NPR referred to me this morning in an account of Arnold's campaign trip yesterday: "AM radio shock jock Hugh Hewitt quickly prompted the crowd to see what they thought about the Los Angeles Times."
I think they ought to have described me as "Long time public television personality and host of the PBS series Searching for God in America Hugh Hewitt..." But that might have caused heart attacks across the NPR landscape.
Hugh is fierce Republican partisan who loathes the L.A. Times. That doesn't make him Howard Stern, though I must admit that the comparison occurred to me during my visit to his studio. Like Howard, Hugh has a studio full of guests, only some of whom are scheduled. But no one strips.
