...make things worse, when Massa turned from discussing his own woes to the machinations of Washington, he offered ideas that have no place in Fox News's tightly regulated framework. Massa suggested that Beck and other Americans demand "campaign finance reform" to curb the corruption on Capitol Hill. Beck, who has called such proposals a "huge mistake," put his hand over his mouth, as if he were holding back an upset stomach.

Committee members asserted that Toyota has failed to sufficiently address the possibility that the computers in its cars could be causing problems. Toyota executive Jim Lentz insisted on Feb. 23 that the company has identified the defects responsible for some 2,600 instances of sudden, unintended acceleration--resulting in 34 deaths--since 2000. But he also conceded that...
