Dean,

>I see where you get your political views.

The points I made are all documented in the published media. The book I mentioned contains an extensive bibiography as to the sources.

Now if you're a person who watches FoxNews or listens to Rush Limbaugh as your primary source of information, let me tell you this:

You think that the media is "liberal"? Look at the research done by the Pew Foundation on the 2000 election. Guess what? There were more negative stories on Al Gore than George W. In the 2004 election, there were more positive stories on George W. than John Kerry.

As far as FoxNews is concerned, any organization that would advertise itself as "fair and balance" and who have someone like Bill O'Reilly on is being hypocritical. O'Reilly is a liar, and Franken calls him out.

I was channel surfing the other evening, and there was Bill, saying that he was just an ordinary guy from Levittown, NY. The problem is that he isn't from Levittown. He's from Westbury, NY an afluent suburb about 8-10 miles awat. He went to a private school. He went to a private college. What's the source? His mother in article in the Washington Post. If this guy can't be honest about where he's from, why should anyone believe that he's being honest about anything else he says.
