On Sunday June 8th, 2003,
C-SPAN's Book TV featuring Franken, O'Reilly and Molly Ivins; Franken confronted O'Reilly {FOXNews}about his lie that that he received the prestigious Peabody Award for his work as host of Inside Edition.
BUZZFLASH's interview (while promoting Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right) with Franken moved from O'Reilly to Hannity on his list of FoxNews media bias attacks back on June 12, 2003. Preceding his opinion of Hannity, Franken said this of the "right-wing media..right-wing bias.." their agenda is: "we're an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we're going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause."
Franken: "If you watched Hannity and Colmes during the war, it was hilarious. Hannity would, every day, be saying that Democrats were undermining the President by criticizing the Commander in Chief with criticisms that were so either nonexistent or mild. Whereas, Hannity, if you went back and looked at what he was saying during Kosovo, was attacking Clinton in the harshest terms every day. Hannity deliberately meant to undermine Clinton by saying he's not following his advisors, we're running out of ammunition, he doesn't know what he's doing. He was allowing guests to come on and say this is the worst planned military operation in history, and he'd nod, and say, "Um-hmm."
Franken is admitted by BuzzFlash to be one of its' heroes.

"Franken's allegation, based on misquoting, distorting and misrepresenting what Hume actually said and meant."
This is the left's primary propoganda tool.

What Hume said was not mean, just stupid and deceptive.
The left distorts like that all the time. Responsible journalists and commentators should not need to.

Just saw the History Channel's program on the Battle of the Bulge. Heaven forbid if America ever had to get into a real war with an intelligent enemy (probably won't happen for a least another 100 years). Our culture just wouldn't be able to handle it.

Al Franken is a little bitch.

The Sheep have been given their orders.
Their bellies have been stroked since September 12th, and they've been lulled back to sleep.
They've been told to forget 9/11 ever happened, Bush is a Nazi/illegal Pres/drunken idiot, and Hollywood is more important to their happy lives.
Someone tell me, why do I keep doing the job I do?

Franken has a vendata against FoxNews for some reason.
He has confronted/accosted/accused Brian Kilmeade, Britt Hume, Sean Hannity, and Alan Colmes at different times in the last few months.

Franken's media analysis is pretty pathetic. Franken is a stooge, a mouthpiece.
He will be deployed more in 2004. Interesting way to get around campaign financing laws.
Also to be deployed is Michael Moore, demo money funding the movie, and timing, of the probable release of a film "9/11" just before the election.

"I am about, at Christmas, to go on my fourth USO tour. I'll bet he's a real headliner. I'm suprised and disgusted that the USO would even consider booking this nutjob.

"And this is, and then his evidence was there are about 6.6 homicides a day in California and we're losing only 1.7 soldiers a day in Iraq. Now what he's forgetting is there are 34 million people living in California and there are one point, and there are 140,000, so you're actually 60 times more likely to die if you're a soldier in Iraq.
Franken's point here is not refuted by this article.

It's really nice of Franken to take time out of his busy schedule at Christmastime to entertain the Fedayeen and AQ troops. Wadda guy...I can't wait to see the pictures of 'ol Al holding an RPG launcher and mugging with the brave terrorists.

Franken is nothing but an anti-American Leftist liar.
May he be deported to Cuba.

As they say "in a battle of wits, Franken is unarmed"
Especially vs Brit Hume.

Franken Accuses Hume of "Obscene...Trivializing" of Troop Deaths
But Franken, just walking around, obscenely trivializes what it means to be human.

"Left-wing ranter Al Franken,..." The first five words of the article say it all.
