Fed to Fox: f*ck off!
NEW YORK - A federal judge on Friday denied Faux Nooze's request for an injunction to block humorist Al Franken's new book, whose title mocks the Fox slogan "fair and balanced."

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said Fox's claim was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally."

"Just like your whole damn channel!" he should have added.

Chin pointed out that the word "Lies" in the title is printed in large red letters next to a photo of human gasbag Bill O'Reilly. He said that there was no likelihood that book buyers would think that the sponsor is Fox or O'Reilly.

"We are talking about relatively sophisticated consumers here," he said of those who would be buying Franken's book.

"As opposed to those cretinous mouthbreathers who watch Fux Nooze," he should have said.
