The results were aired on a subsequent Factor episode.
The April 19 Message column will share much more information on this topic. In the meantime, Colorado Media Matters has posted items about both incidents, complete with the viewable segments in question. Click here for the first one; click here for the second. Enjoy. -- Michael Roberts
