Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right

I have just finished reading Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, recommend it to anybody. There are a few chapters on Bill O'Reilly, which go into the feud between Franken and O'Reilly, including O'Reilly's humorous outbursts. Here's footage of one, from YouTube:




And he also yelled at Jeremy Glick, whose father died on 9/11, repeatedly telling him to "shut up", and allegedly told Glick after the interview, "
Get out! Get out of my studio before I tear you to fu**king pieces!" A video of the interview from YouTube:



There's also a lot of other good chapters, including a few on Ann Coulter, Hannity and Colmes, the Bush administration, and others.

Fox News sued Al Franken and his publisher for copyright infringement over the use of "Fair and Balanced" in its title. The case was literally laughed out of court, court transcripts can be found at http://www.alfrankenweb.com/foxcourt.html

You can buy a copy of the paperback at Amazon.com
