Fox Loses “Fair and Balanced” Lawsuit

Good news.

A federal judge on Friday denied Fox News Channel’s request for an injunction to block liberal humorist Al Franken’s new book, whose title mocks the Fox slogan “fair and balanced.” U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said

Fox’s claim was “wholly without merit, both factually and legally.” The network had argued Franken’s book — “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right” — could trick some consumers into believing the book is associated with Fox.

I guess I can now go back to plain old “Procrastination.”
