"Fox outwitted on this one" -- Chicago Sun-Times

It's Fox vs. Hollinger. I thought that they were in lockstep. Apparently, Hollinger is defending Franken???? WTF?? :shrug:

Scroll down to the second item on the page:

http://www.suntimes.com/output/commentary/cst-edt-edits13.html

--A few of the pundits on Fox News are famous for shouting people down. So it should be no surprise that Fox is suing humorist Al Franken, claiming his new book, Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (Penguin), infringes on its trademark line "fair and balanced.'' The lawsuit is a deplorable, humorless misstep that will inevitably promote, not silence, the book.--

1. The Sun-Times has...

something good to say about a liberal?

Next they'll be saying nice things about the Green Bay Packers!

2. How 'bout it?...

When I read it on the train this morning, my eyes popped out of my head. I almost missed my stop.

If they say something nice about the Packers I expect to look outside and see it raining frogs.

...wait a minute...something nice about a liberal? Maybe I better look outside anyway.

4. Actually

The Sun-Times is considered to be the "liberal-Democrat" paper in Chicago. That is, in comparison to the Trib. BTW I love the Sun-Times sports section. Read it religiously. If they EVER say anything nice about the Packers I'll stop my subscription.:puke:
