RULING SEEMS BALANCED AND FAIR
It looks like Al Franken can keep the title on his new book: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right — on Friday a judge rejected Fox News’ claim that consumers would mistakenly think that Fox and/or Bill O’Reilly were endorsing the book. Franken’s statement was classic, including the line: “As far as the personal attacks go, when I read ‘intoxicated or deranged’ and ’shrill and unstable’ in their complaint, I thought for a moment I was a Fox commentator.” Tee hee :) Story from the LA Times.

God, what a ridiculous lawsuit. I can’t believe a major company like Fox would ever do something so obviously ready to fail. I’ve heard others say that O’Reiley probably pushed it, and I tend to agree with that idea. Sigh.

I posed that twice. Forgive me.

In spite of the near hagiography of Clinton the book is good. And I’ve never watched Fox news.
But I especially love the title.
