A PARODY? OF FOXNEWS? GO FIGURE.
FILM AT ELEVEN
Fox News on Monday dropped its trademark infringement lawsuit against Al Franken and his publisher, Penguin Group, that aimed to stop sales of the liberal satirist's new book but instead turned it into a top seller.
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said the title was clearly a parody protected by the First Amendment. He said Fox's motion seeking the injunction was "wholly without merit" and that its trademark was weak.
