Fox News already has their Franken talking points

Never to be confused with a real outlet of journalism, Fox News already has their talking points in place with regard to Al Franken: emphasize his "high unfavorables." Of course, the poll they cite, duly repeated by Politico, was a national poll, which often doesn't turn out well for congressional leaders.

Can someone remind me of the last time we were supposed to care about a national poll about a junior Senator who hasn't even been sworn in for his first term yet? Or better yet, when was the last time a poll like that actually mattered?

Still, good to see Fox News is on the ball with their attack strategy.

other senators (0.00 / 0)
How many other senators, any any national figured besides the president, poll well nationally? My guess is close to none, yet how many keep getting reelected? Almost all. They need only a plurality in their home states/districts, and unless they run for president, the rest of the country can rot.

This is just the beginning; (0.00 / 0)
Franken in the Senate is humiliation for O'Reilly.  His employers will continually go after Franken, partly just on 'general principles', but with added verve to try to assuage Bill's poor little hurt feelings.  

This Is Not About O'Reilly (0.00 / 0)
Fox News sees the writing on the wall; Al Franken is the future of this country. The Pendulum has poised long enough and Al's seating is the the first perceptible move away from the last 40 years of conservatism. They are attacking him because they are truly scared.

I so hope that you're right (0.00 / 0)
about Franken and the future.  The idea of political offices filled with highly intelligent, humane people, throughout...

You are right that Fox is all about fearmongering by frightened people.
