Why Liberal Talk Radio Won't Push Rush et al. Aside

John Hinderaker was interviewed by Al Franken on Air America today, and it seems that Franken's favorite topic was . . . himself. Hindrocket calls it "the worst 15 minutes in the history of radio." Although the producer had told Hindrocket that he'd be preceded by sneering columnist Nick Coleman (who's attacked PL in print) and that he'd have the opportunity to respond, it didn't happen. Less capable guests, who haven't helped create one of the best blogs, would have been vulnerable to Franken's sandbagging. As it is, Franken comes off as a duplicitous host. That's not shocking, but he may be surprised just how many people learn of his action.
