Franken wins

As expected, Fox's trademark infringement lawsuit against Al Franken for using their trademarked language "Fair and Balanced" in his new book title, was laughed out of court. Literally. Deeming the work a legitimate form of expression--parody--the judge concluded, "Of course, it is ironic that a media company that should be fighting for the First Amendment is trying to undermine it."
