I agree with you that both sides are guilty of disinformation, blowhardism, etc., but to be fair Franken is a commedian, and doesn't really have any obligation per se to live up to any kind of standards, IMHO (although it would be nice). The people he's attacking are all (I think) journalists or politicians, who are held (rightly so) to a higher standard of conduct. Or should be.
But yeah, it would be nice if there were any way to find common ground instead of just slinging mud at each other. But when the guys on the other side refuse to play nice, does it pay to take the high road?
