Fox fails to ask Norton why Constitution should not apply to all citizens

  • 2 Comments
  • by: Jason Salzman

In my post yesterday about Fox 21’s mini profile of  Jane Norton, I didn’t mention that Fox committed another journalistic lapse when it failed to ask Norton why she believes that Faisal  Shahzad, who’s now admitted to trying to blow  up a car bomb in Times Square, should be denied basic due-process protections given to all Americans.

“If they treat him like a criminal, rather than a terrorist, I think that’s wrong,” Norton told Fox.“You don’t keep America safe by reading terrorists their Miranda rights.”

Fox should have gotten Norton’s response to the kind of argument supported by Glenn Beck on this topic. Beck said,  “He’s [Shahzad] a citizen of the United States, so I say you uphold the laws and Constitution on citizens,” adding, “He has all of the rights under the Constitution,” and “We don’t shred the Constitution when it’s popular; we do the right thing.”

  1. I wish someone would put all of Norton’s goofy comments together for Youtube.  When asked about some legislation involving faith organizations, she repeatedly answered by telling what her husband does.

  2. Jason:

    She clearly doesn’t get it.  While she is busy pandering to the anti-terrorist people, do you think she understands that there is a constitutional significance to Shahzad’s being a US citizen?

    Her knowledge of what she talks about is so shallow it is like chalk screeching on a black board. She believes what she does because she is stupid.  No further follow up question or explanation is necessary.
