The Fox News Channel is suing liberal humorist Al Franken and his publisher the Penguin Group in attempt to block the publication of his new book titled “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.” The book’s cover features photos of four of the so-called lying liars that Franken writes about: Fox host Bill O’Reilly, commentator Ann Coulter and President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Among other things, Fox claims the term “Fair and Balanced” can not be used in the title because it was trademarked by the news organization in 1995.
