It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

He is up to #4 now and he is thanking FOX for the publicity.

The only chance of Franken's book to sell is to use an icon's trademark, maybe this way he will sell within 90% of what Coulter's book sales. When you can't beat them, join them.
Four of Al Franken's previous books have all made the New York Times Bestseller list, including the #1 selling Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot.
That's more national bestsellers than I see anyone here with...Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

but since he has left, he has done nothing funny.
And how can Fox copyright "fair and balanced" Dumbass Spike Lee just found out how hard it is to copyright words. He lost his battle against TNN. TNN is now called Spike tv.Comment

reminds me of the time that Fox attempted to sue the owners of the whyfiles.com or .org or something like that because it was infringing on their ownership of the title "X-Files"

Uh, not quite...they settled with Spike, he didn't "lose." I doubt his main intent was to actually prevent them from using the name, but rather to get some attention and money over the matter.Originally posted by Dissident

I haven't been following Franken's carreer, but he seems to have become a hard-left advocate rather than a comic.
From a trademark law point of view, I think FOX will win easily. I wonder what Franken is smoking if he continues this litigation.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Oh, yeah, Franken needs FOX's help to sell books..
I thought it was the spanking he gave O'Reilly at that press event that was goign to do it.
Franken does rather well for himself with his books, as Borsi has pointed out. As for sinking to Ann Coulter's level, hardly. Sinking to the level f many ohter partisans, perhaps, but an Coulter goes just a bit deeepr into the muck than the rest.

HOw would they possibly win? First of all, the book is satire (which by itself makes the lawsuit seem trivial and spitefull, as FOX's comments show). Second, how can one possibly trademark "Fair and Balanced"? That is like sayiong CNN can trademark: "Most trusted", or before that "MOst watched".If you don't like reality, change it! me

Faux news is going after everyone remotely critical of them. I honestly think someone should sue them over the "Fair and Balanced" trademark, since it's false advertizing.
Anyway, Faux news is going after a small maker of t-shirts that parody Faux news.
They taunted antiwar activists with their marque in Times Square.
