NEW YORK (CNN) -- A federal judge, saying, "This is an easy case," Friday ruled against Fox News in its lawsuit asserting that a new book by liberal satirist Al Franken violates their trademarked slogan, "fair and balanced."
Fox was seeking an injunction to halt distribution of Franken's book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, after listening to about half an hour of oral arguments, said the lawsuit was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally."

Judge Chin went on to comment "Frankly I'm surprised that the marketing honchos at Fox News failed to recognize that the only likely outcome of this frivilous suit is increased book sales for Mr. Franken. What a bunch of fucking bozos."
