HELP: I need the info from Frankens book on Coulters misuse of Lexus Nexus

I remember readin in the book how she manipulated searches and did not fact check her results. Anyone know where I can find this on-line?

1. Not sure about that - but didn't The Daily Howler do some interesting

debunking, including running the same nexus searches she claimed to do? That should be on-line.

2. i can tell you the general method

Edited on Thu Dec-18-03 10:59 AM by foktarded

you type in 20 different words, like:
Clinton blowjob intern Monica Lewinsky dress cumstain scandal lies penis sex tits impeachment trial
And then since Lexus-Nexus has to find something with ALL those words to return a match, no matches come up and you say "The liberal media did NOT report the Clinton sex scandal at all"

3. Yep

The specific story that Coulter reported had somethign to do with a speech Jesse Jackson gave--but that's the basic gist.

But be careful--using this method I was able to prove that I didn't exist. It gave me a headache for a whole afternoon, and then there was that unpleasentness with mall security when I assumed that if I didn't exist I must be invisible.
