"Lies" contains lots of citations and statistics because Franken, during a fellowship this year at Harvard's Shorenstein press center, was given 14 research assistants to help him scour the media archives.

Buried in a Washington Post story, the revelation that Harvard University essentially bankrolled shockingly untalented has-been Al Franken's new book. Honestly, I don't know why the universities continue lying about the fact that they are essentially Leftist political parties and then do nonsense like this, which everyone is going to find about in the end. Apparently they're not only totalitarian extremists, they're also stupid.
