The Chicago Tribune reports today that Fox News Network is suing Al
Franken of trademark violation. Franken has published a book with the
phrase "fair and balanced" in the subtitle. In addition, "Fow says
the cover of Franken's book 'mimics the look and style' of two of Fox
host Bill O'Reilley's books." Fox is concerned that "Franken is
'likely to blur or tarnish' Fox News' reputation."
