Also CNN. I never was a great fan of CNN, but this seems to be an example of exactly what Hedges was referring to about the voiceless no longer being heard, with their only remaining option, these days, being to riot.
I also think that old Hitchens v1 was likely a reason for Hitchens v2: You don't go up against Hestons hairpiece, it turned out, and expect impunity. I assume someone knew something about Hitchens and made him aware of that they knew it.
