Re: What you get on Wikipedia
[ QUOTE ]
"Looks like someone has an awfully thin skin about his heroes getting even the slightest criticism. " But you've proven my point with you choices. Franken has not a single significant reference to anything negative. I found the same thing when I checked Rhodes vs Ingraham. [/ QUOTE ] For those of you who don't check fishfl's references, there is a long paragraph about al franken's embarrassing flap regarding his use of a school's letterhead to send satirical letters to american leaders including john ash. He had to apologize for it. I listen to his show and was not aware of this.

Hannity's entry hardly "smears" him, much less "to the maximum". You want to see an attack on Hannity, go to http://www.hannityisamoron.com/ .

Re: What you get on Wikipedia
"you are 100% wrong about this."
I'm almost never 100% wrong, poker excluded. OK, OK, I know one. I mistakenly assumed you might give this proposition a fair shot. I was 100% wrong. Inability to spot bias in source material is the sign of critical intellectual immaturity. Kids get suckered in all the time. Wide eyed idealists suffer similarly.

Hmmm, let's see: Al Franken [/ QUOTE ] Some one obviously tampered with that one. It says that Franken is a humorist. Now that's funny.

It's not fair to include anything on he's done on his radio show when judging his humorist credential. Liberal radio has 99% of the humor squeezed out before it gets to you. Now Mark Maron, that guy was funny. I listened every day. Air America killed off the only decent product they had. Q: What do you call 25 feminists in a room? A: That's not funny!

What\'s the rumpus ?
[ QUOTE ]
What you get on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln About one tenth of the way down the article [ QUOTE ] Abe is gay [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Wikipedia is a constant work-in-progress. Vandalism occurs routinely. Especially in "popular" entries, eg Hitler, Lincoln, Bush. There are gnomes and elves in the wiki forrest that take care of such crap. Don't get excited.

Re: What\'s the rumpus ?
"Vandalism occurs routinely. "
How would you figure this breaks out, ideologically speaking? What portion of it comes from the left? This is an issue I find quite interesting. I'd go so far as to wager on my opinion that > 3/4 of the spin/vandalism is lefties. Conservatives generally have better things to do with their time, like running the country.
