I guess that's a matter of taste.  Al Franken was the one show on Air 
America that I liked best.  Most of the others just shouted a lot.  
They didn't sound any better than the right wing guys.  Franken had a 
lot of real facts and guests who knew what they were talking about.  
He even had some conservatives on who disagreed with him.  And he 
used his comic skills to do some humorous bits.

Same reason I like Rachel Maddow better than Keith Olberman on MSNBC.

Or at least that's the way I saw it.
