I was quoted in a Christian Science Monitor story about "Prairie Home Companion," which has been adapted into a movie:
"The show has never appealed to me," says Brendan Nyhan, a grad student at Duke University in Durham, N.C. Mr. Nyhan has serious qualms about Keillor's political activism. As a former editor at the media watchdog website spinsanity.com, Nyhan once chided Keillor for making unsubstantiated allegations in a 2002 skit that suggested Minnesota senator-elect Norm Coleman was a suspect in the plane crash that killed his predecessor. "To suggest that it's even plausible that Coleman was linked to the crash without evidence is beyond irresponsible," wrote Nyhan in 2002.
