Faux News Loses
Al Franken’s book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them can go on sale after all, despite Faux Nooz’s ridiculous lawsuit to stop it. As the judge put it, “This case is wholly without merit both factually and legally.” Duh.
I actually think it was confusion on Fox’s part that led to this whole uproar. In their suit, they argued that the book’s tag line, “A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right,” was used to confuse consumers. They confused the book with themselves — they trademarked “Fair and Balanced” to confuse their own viewers. It’s hard to keep things straight with a network full of lying liars.
