When Spocko put clips of a San Francisco radio show on his blog Mr. Kurtz hosted a debate on the story on his show Reliable Sources. One of the clips included a simulated electrocution (including audible convulsions) of the editor of the New York Times. Spocko wasnt on the show, but someone representing his viewpoint was. Mr. Kurtz turned to the guy and said "What happened to free speech?"
but someone writes "Dr. Evil escapes again ... damn" on a message board and Kurtz is so scandalized he can barely summon the strength to do any more than crosslink Malkin.
