eyeteeth posts a small piece of an article on the Fox-Franken "Fair and Balanced" lawsuit. I was especially intrigued by this bit:
Fox lawyers argued that "Franken is neither a journalist nor a television news personality. He is not a well-respected voice in American politics; rather, he appears to be shrill and unstable. His views lack any serious depth or insight."
Now, let me get this straight: Fox is suing Franken because they are afraid that a book by someone who is "neither a journalist nor... a well-respected voice in American politics", who "appears to be shrill and unstable", and whose "views lack any serious depth or insight" will be mistaken by the average consumer as a representative of Fox News?
Oh, wait, I guess that makes perfect sense.
