A number of journalists joined Hatch in taking a stand in defense of bacon. CNN political commentator Ben Ferguson and Wall Street Journal contributor Jon Gabriel kept their defense of bacon simple.

The journalists’ abbreviated responses were effective but failed to match Hatch’s hands on commitment to bacon.
