"Media analysis" from the left

Courtesy of Guy Benson over at National Review's "Media Blog" comes this hilarious analysis of the performance of Air America vs. Fox News in 2008. When I read Benson's bit, I thought that he must've been making this up. He wasn't. In 2008, former Air America host, Al Franken was elected the next Senator from […]
