Fox News, being the bete noire of journalism in blue state America, anything that reflects poorly on anyone connected with the organization is likely to receive extensive coverage from its competitors. This affair is no exception, although it certainly doesn't seem to show the flaxen pundit in an unfavorable light. Accounts invariably mention her by name, as here and here.
Oddly, however, no mention has been made to date of the identity of the thrower of the drink. The "official" news media, which supposedly prides itself on ferreting out the facts, disclosing secrets, naming names, has failed to discover and publicize the valiant heroine of this brunch brouhaha. Wouldn't the people that elected Al Franken and voted for Mrs. Bill Clinton by a margin of 44,765 (roughly the population of Moorhead, a Minnesota suburb of Fargo, North Dakota) like to know the name, and better yet, the employer of the mystery lady? Wouldn't Minnesota progressives want to march right down to wherever this courageous female spends her days and spend some hard earned cash to encourage further behavior of this sort? It really couldn't be that difficult for a modern American newspaper or television station to come up with this info.
Additionally, the individual that flung the drink committed an assault and in this case that assault is an obvious example of a hate crime. Shouldn't law enforcement, as well as the media, be looking for this person? It's guaranteed that throwing a drink on a plain-clothes cop in similar circumstances will result in charges and whipping as well. Why should it be any different for a television personality? Speaking of which, imagine if the recipient of the thrown drink had been Oprah Winfrey or US Senator from Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar. Somebody would be wearing an orange jump suit.
