From the Democratic Underground’s weekly “Top Ten Conservative Idiots“:
“There are hard cases and there are easy cases,” said the judge in the Fox News Fair and Balanced case against Al Franken. “This is an easy case. This case is wholly without merit, both factually and legally.” This appears to be the end for one of the most ridiculous lawsuits in recent memory. (Why in the heck would a news organization be trying to chip away at the first amendment? You decide.) Interestingly, we hear that Fox News have recently been running ads on their network for Hannity & Colmes, featuring Dennis Miller. The ads reportedly contain the line, “It’s Miller Time.” So what’s going on here? Was Fox News’s lawsuit really a principled defense of the trademark holder’s sacred rights? Or are they just a hypocritical right-wing propaganda outlet that’s full of shit? We report, you… oh, never mind.
