I wonder how well an Al Franken book would sell if he didn't link himself to someone or something much more popular than him. I wouldn't have known he had a new book if he hadn't used the phrase in the title that led to all this.I don't know, but why should he not mention what his book is about in the title? It's probably the best way to tell people what's inside your book. Without knowing anything else, the title "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" tells me that the book is going to be humorous criticism of right wing media from a decidedly left wing standpoint, and I didn't have to know anything about Al Franken to get that.
