Franken bases his narration on correct facts and real research. The people and stories he lambastes in 'Liars' start with fiction that looks and sounds like fact. Franken can't be fair and balanced "Fair and Balanced" is a trademarked slogan used by American news broadcaster Fox News Channel. The slogan was originally used in conjunction with the phrase "Real Journalism. when he starts with something so unusual as the truth. 'Liars' does depend on facts but the fictional portions of the narration are so mockingly vicious you will either hate Franken or love him. Franken is at heart a satirist.

This gives the book a petty nasty feel but the information and details he supplies serves the needed task of pointing out the inconsistencies in the stories propagated by the conservative right. Distortions told by the political right are seldom questioned by the mainstream media because of the malicious feel of disclosing the truth about others in your own field. It harkens back to your days in school when the teacher calls a student to the chalkboard to show the correct way of solving a problem. The student is embarrassed he/she got it right and the others in the class got it wrong. The mainstream media doesn't want the role of being the one with the correct information and calling to task the schoolyard bullies. This is unfortunate because it does lower the credibility of all media. You might not like the nastiness of 'Liars' but if you want to learn the facts about the politically active right wing media, it is a great source of information. 'Liars' is a 'must' read for anyone planning on voting in the upcoming elections. It doesn't matter which party or political affiliation you have. The facts you find in the book are important. Do not judge this book by the anger it incites but on the facts you can learn from it. S.A. Gorden, Reviewer re·view·er n.
