Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsBoth CNN and MSNBC are leading with Al Franken in the 8PM hour (EST)
CNN has been playing most of the audio of his interview with Minnesota Public Radio from earlier today. MSNBC is interviewing a reporter from a MN newspaper who interviewed him earlier today as well, and they are discussing that interview.
Edit to add: MSNBC now has a panel of pundits discussing Franken and his recent statements/interviews. CNN is now going over to discussing Conyers.

(42,641 posts)Apparently that will be ignored by the "liberal" wing of the corporate media and the focus is exclusively on Al Franken.
I also read something about some sort of investigation headed by Robert Mueller, but the media elites prefer to focus on Democrats and anything involving sex.
I also vaguely remember reading about an alleged pedophile running for Senate in Alabama, but that too has dropped off the liberal media radar.

Joke or not, it was childish and stupid and would piss off most parents or husbands.
The kiss story is not believable to me. And not sure the ass grabs stories are real either.

Other than that, completely innocent.

I thought MSNBC in particular did a good job of emphasizing just how much more serious the Moore allegations are.

(58,724 posts)The statements Franken made in those interviews came across as very measured and thoughtful.

(58,724 posts)That Franken is definitely not quitting - and said as much in a series of interviews today.
