The Neal Pollack Invasion: Save Al Franken!

The Neal Pollack Invasion has a piece about Fox News Suing Al Franken for using the term Fair and Balanced in his new book title. I, like many on the net, have reacted to this by incorporating the term Fair and Balanced into my tagline. Letter's from Exile is now tagged as "A Fair and Balanced Approach to Technology, Politics, Gadgets, and More". Take that Fox! I'm sure they are scared now.

"The Fox News Channel has sued political satirist Al Franken to stop him from using the words 'fair and balanced' in the title of his new book, scheduled to publish next month. The suit claims that the subtitle is 'likely to cause confusion among the public about whether Fox News has authorized or endorsed the book and about whether Franken is affiliated with FNC.' Good lord. Who among the five, possibly ten percent of the American people who could recognize Franken in a lineup would think that he's affiliated with the Fox News Channel? The man stands politically to the left of every major entertainment figure except Michael Moore and maybe Janeane Garofalo. "
