Welcome to our VIP feature for Hot Air as well as a members-only show in the Hughniverse! Duane Patterson and I now are doing a Week in Review show for Friday evenings, exclusive to members in both platforms. Duane has been the Generalissimo behind the Hugh Hewitt Show for more than two decades, and we have partnered on weekly commentary since 2007. And don't miss Duane's new podcast series and platform, Duane's World!
What stories topped your priority lists this week? Duane and I wonder why CBS thinks the next conclave rests on ... the size of the crowds for the viewing of Pope Francis' body? And the media wonders why it keeps losing credibility with its consumers! Duane and I briefly discuss the Scott Jennings-Jeff Jarvis debate on CNN this week, and note how the Protection Racket Media brings the same level of intelligence to most of their political coverage. We then turn our eyes to the UK, where Energy Minister Ed Milliband tries to claim that Britain's 78% tax rate on energy supplier has nothing to do with the price consumers pay for their products. And did Millband put Dr. Evil in charge of their climate-change operations?
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
