Senator Franken Through the Eyes of Fox et al.

Over at Talking Points Memo is a nice round-up of the Murdoch press's reaction to Al Franken's victory.

Here's a fun dose of schadenfreude.

Sen.-elect Al Franken's (D-MN) long-awaited victory in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race seems to have caused quite a lot of stress in the Murdoch-owned press. Remember, this is the same corporation that sued him for his Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them book back in 2003, with the unintended consequence of giving him tons of free publicity to sell books -- and elevating him into being a hero of liberal activists, without which he might never have become a politician!

See Glen Beck be "quite alarmed"! See Brian Kilmeade be "very upset"! Read about the Wall Street Journal's essay "that is so full of factual errors and distortions about what happened, it can drive you nuts if you'd spent countless hours following all the gritty details like [Eric] did".

Go on ... you know you want to.
