Will Fox sue my Fair and Balanced site?

Al Franken, then me

[jsinger]

Fox Network is suing comedian (?) and liberal political comentator Al Franken. His new book uses the phrase "Fair and Balanced" on the cover.

Fox, which trademarked that phrase several years ago, sometimes uses it on their network news as a motto. The suit claims readers will think Fox was somehow behind Franken's new book.

Do you associate "Fair and Balanced" with Fox? Google, last week , turned up zillions of instances of that phrase not related to Fox.

Meanwhile Harvard-educated Franken's book isn't suffering. It has rocketed to the top of best-seller lists.

I'm thinking of protecting several phrases and demanding payment:

1) "Welcome to my homepage"

2) "click here"

3) "official campaign for the popularity of our product"

4) the word "webmaster"

Better rethink jsinger. Franken won Round One [eonline.com].

"Late Friday, Franken's tome was Amazon.com's top seller, besting the apolitical, but no-doubt riveting The South Beach Diet."

Okay, how about my riviting new railroad site, Spike.com?

Better rethink jsinger.

Yeah, it'd be better to just use the phrase "fair and balanced" as part of the catchphrase for all your sites.

If nothing else, you might get residual traffic from people looking for info on the Franken story... ;)
