MICKEY KAUS wonders why Rupert Murdoch has been outperformed by Matthew Hoy’s weblog.

Read this article, too.

And here’s a good story from NPR on the mass resignations at the formerly accommodationist Cuba Policy Foundation in response to Castro’s latest depredations.

It’s kind of lame when Rupert Murdoch is outperformed by NPR on something like this. Good God, there are even French protests over Castro’s actions, while Murdoch’s empire remains silent. How embarrassing is that? Bill O’Reilly, call your office!

UPDATE: A friend at Fox tells me that Brit Hume did cover this issue last night on “Special Report,” and that they want to send reporters but that Castro isn’t letting them into the country. I guess he doesn’t feel he can trust them the way he can trust CNN, whose reliability in such matters was so recently demonstrated in prewar Iraq.
