FOX News Channel Full of Steaming Bullshit

By Wind(up)bird August 13, 2003 8:16 AM

In a great example of the ugly, dark star that is the Fox News Channel, the news network is suing ex-SNL writer Al Franken for using the words "fair and balanced" in the title of his upcoming book. ?The book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right," is supposed to be released this fall.  Apparently, the news channel doesn't know how to take a joke.

Franken replied to the lawsuit filed this past Monday, " I normally prefer not to be out of the country on vacation when I'm sued. However, from everything I know about law regarding satire, I'm not worried." ?Franken is currently vacationing in Italy.

Fox's court papers call Franken, "neither a journalist nor a television news personality. ?He appears to be shrill and unstable. ?His views lack any serious depth or insight." ?That's the news channel's "fair and balanced" account of Franken. ?

There's nothing quite like a big angry unintelligent bully making an ass out of itself. ?Angry is so in these days.

No, YOU are an idiot.  Franken debunks all the pointless shallow rhetoric and cowardice of the American right:  You are another example of its brainless low life.
