Trying to cash in Fox's popularity

How does she extrapolate "Take our slogan out of your title" to 'suppressing the book'?

Al Franken is a mouth-breathing moron, but FoxNews does not have the slightest bit of a legal case here.

The phrase "fair and balanced" was around long before FoxNews. Sorry FoxNews, you don't have any more right to those words than any other else does.

I'd say there is a good case for slander here as well. Franken is openly calling explicit persons liars.
And of course he's going to scream about his "Civil Rights" that's why he wrote the book. Now that there's law suits he can claim he's being persecuted for speaking out. Now his only problem his how to draw the line strait to G.W.Bush.

Actually, I think it's funny that the stupid moron actually has his picture as the biggest one on the cover that screams it is all about liars telling lies. ;)
Btw, being successful enough to get your picture on the cover of Franken's book may be a source of perverse pride to one or two of the folks on the tv monitors behind him.

Penguin is the one who publishes Tom Clancy's outstanding books--an odd combination of authors.

Al Franken is entirely motivated by hatred for those with whom he disagrees.
I'm not even sure what the man believes.

Why is Fox giving Al Franken publicity he could never buy? Franken is irrelevant. His movies, TV shows, and books have all been abject failures. Let him steal Fox's slogan, and his new commie treatise will still go down in flames.

I don't think Fox has much of a case.
It would be interesting to see how it works with the other side. For example if I published a new book about Jayson Blair and gang titled: "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. All the News That's Fit to Print About the Left", would the New York Times have a case against me?

Trying to cash in Fox's popularityWhat a great idea...cashing in on someone's popularity, (and, while you trash them, yet)
I plan on using the words
By Al Franken
someplace in the subtitle of a satirical novel
Maybe the title could be like this
Healing Malformed Teeth in the Middle East:
A Novelized Biography of the esteemed Egyptian Orthodontist
By Al Franken
My main character will be a orthodontist named By Al Franken.
Maybe I'll include a caricature of the orthodontist on the cover that looks like Al Franken in scrubs, too.
Putting Franken's name and picture on the cover should boost sales.

Since when was Al Franken a humor writer?

I think Fox knows in its heart it's just a big joke, and it deliberately acts in an outrageous manner--it's the Ann Coulter of TV News.
