The Fox Lawsuit

FOX v. FRANKEN.

here's the fox lawsuit filed against al franken. the arguments goes that Franken is trying to ride on the "MASSIVE" success of fox news, but al is just a shitty guy no one likes, THUS the association would confuse the public that would think fox was putting out this book or generally had anything to do with al franken, whom is held in such low regard by the general public. Fox then goes on to plug its shows, books written by its on air "talent" and even its line of neckties...all of which would be harmed by the "obvious" attempt by franken to hitch himself and his lack of talent to that which is the fox news Star.

again, i have to wonder what the attorneys that wrote this felt? i mean, i know they are on retainer and getting paid to do whatever it is fox wants them to do, but...well, as an attorney...i have to wonder if the money gives them back some of the self-respect an attorney loses drafting such a pathetic pleading...and by pathetic, i'm not really just referring to the paper, but the will of the attorney(s) that wrote it. i'd find new work if i had to do this sort of thing to pay my mortgage.
