Whatcha gonna do about it?

Worst Person Crowded Senator Ben Nelson (D) Nebraska
"Too many Americans...get their news from entertainers (who) tell them what to be angry about today." "...Jon Stewart, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow." "Responding to the talking points of either extreme is not the way to enact good public policy." "There is a lot of inaccurate and incomplete information out there thanks to talk shows from either the left of the right." "Facts often get in the way of a good rant."

The Senator should face the music and correct things right away. Maybe the Fairness Doctrine then? Just kidding. He should start with Steven Colbert. CORRECTION: The Ed Show (Apparently he handled Colbert well enough, and Ed Schultz is who he should fish or cut bait with.)
The Senator makes some very good points even though his list is not fair and balanced on the face of it.

[Senator Byron Dorgan (D) North Dakota: "no solace in being right"]

The face link covers a riddle, but as we progress under Ed, things will change, while the link this date and going back is a fair compendium of edutainment.
