And A federal judge in New York has thrown out the lawsuit by Fox News Channel that attempted to stop the printing of humorist Al Franken’s new booked 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 claimed the term “Fair and Balanced” can not be used in the title because it was trademarked by the news organization in 1995.
Since Fox filed the suit two weeks ago, Franken’s book has jumped to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list.
