while we have not read Al Franken's new book yet, we have seen him talk about it on CSPAN. In this talk he described one example of right wing lies from his book in which Bill O'Reilly of Fox News is seen to have lied on the air several times about his program winning two Peabody Awards, the most prestigious award in journalism. The best part of the show is that O'Reilly was there on the panel talking about his own book and could only make an ad hominem attack on Franken in response.

It is interesting to note that Bill O'Reilly is also cited as an example in "Weapons of Mass Deception". Here it is shown that his show is pure entertainment in which he attempts to humiliate his guests instead of having some kind of exchange of ideas. He is actually quoted as saying to a guest, "I don't care what you think".
