One has to wonder why Fox News ever decided to sue Al Franken over the title of his book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. Granted, Fox has a right to sue over it. However, nothing short of the pope's personal endorsement could have given this book better publicity. This likely lame tome was sure to suffer in relative obscurity or at least to bad sales. Now everybody knows about it and the folks who think Franken produces intelligent and/or humorous comentary (he does neither) will buy it up. Good move, Murdoch.
