Comparing Rush Limbaugh to Al Franken is like comparing a lion to a mouse turd.
Naturally, anything Rush does is going to generate more and bigger headlines.
Just checking back six hours later and still the national media hasn't picked up the Post story? PHXNews, KMSB, National Review Online all used CNN's unbiased portrait of Franken as a hero that assisted in stopping disruptors of an authorized event.
Outside of this there is a strange silence; especially when you a have a campaign corespondant describe exactly what happened over the radio and verify the NYPost article.
What is more odd is that in the past TWO days the following outfits thought Franken was of interest on more positive stories:
- Detroit Free Press,
- Charlotte Observer,
- The Advertiser,
- Salon,
- CBS News,
- ChronWatch.com,
- Traverse City Record Eagle,
- CNN International,
- NH Primary,
- Toledo Blade,
- Miami Herald,
- Biloxi Sun Herald,
- Taunton Gazette,
- Tacoma News Tribune (twice),
- Washington Times,
- Pittsburgh Post Gazette,
- Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel,
- Elko Daily Free Press,
- CTV,
- Times Picayune,
- Fredericksburg.com,

- Rapid City Journal,
- Appeal-Democrat,

- WCIV,
- WJLA,
- Munster Times,

- Tuscaloosa News,
- The Forum,

Fairly indicting of a liberal press.
