Judge rules for Franken, against Fox.
Case dismissed.
I may even tune into O'Reilly tonight to watch his head explode.
A federal judge on Friday denied Fox News Channel's request for an injunction to block humorist Al Franken's new book, whose title mocks the Fox slogan "fair and balanced."U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said Fox's claim was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally."
The network had argued the subtitle to Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" could trick some consumers into believing the book is associated with Fox.
Bite it, Fox. You lose.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
so should we stay fair and balanced now? or can we go back to being unbalanced liberal fanatics now? either way, its nice to see the courts rule in a sane fashion every once in a while.
