The Sound of the Crowd

Ok, so here’s something interesting…

Al Franken was on The Daily Show last night, promoting the launch of his new talk-radio program next week. So I’m here trying to find out where I might listen to his show, be it on a WA station or online, and I do a Google search.

Here’s what I come up with. Since March 2, Google lists 10 major stories on Franken, of which half are right-wing pages like WorldNetDaily complaining that “The nation’s news media is working overtime to help him succeed.”

Let me put that another way: The right-wing media, which is responsible for 50% of the coverage Franken is getting, is complaining because he’s getting too much coverage.

Okay…
