re: #211 suchislife

Actually, money, guests and viewer numbers are exactely what makes something fringe. Fox is the most widely seen “news” channel. Air America is nothing next to that. By the way, I’m not up to date on this: what are the main objections to Franken?

Knee jerk opposition to anything on the right. Snarky dismissal of serious political discussion. Borderline libel disguised as comedy.

In fact Franken and Beck are two sides of a very similar coin.

Of course Franken is now an “elected” (possible selected) government official while Beck is and always will be a talk show host.
