"SHUT UP!" Bill O'Reilly's Heated Feud with Al Franken featuring Molly Ivins (2003)
Fox News Network, LLC, v. Penguin Group (USA), Inc., and Alan S. Franken (2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 18693; 31 Media L. Rep. 2254) was a civil lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 7, 2003. Fox News Channel, the plaintiff, sought to enjoin Al Franken from using Fox's trademark phrase "fair & balanced" in the title of his then-forthcoming book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.[1] Judge Denny Chin denied Fox's motion for injunction on August 22, and the network dropped the suit three days later. On August 7, 2003, Fox News filed for relief in New York State court. On August 14, Franken's publisher removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on federal question grounds. In what author and editor Richard Blow described as "an eight-inch thick legal filing,"[6] the network contended that it had been irreparably harmed by the publicity surrounding Franken's use of the phrase "fair and balanced" on the preliminary cover of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, which Fox claimed it had first become aware of following the BookExpo panel discussion in May. The filing stated that Franken had "been described as a 'C-level political commentator' who is 'increasingly unfunny'", and claimed that the comedian was "shrill and unstable" and had "appeared either intoxicated or deranged" at a press correspondents' dinner in April 2003. The filing cited only two sources for those quotes, one of which was a website to which Bill O'Reilly was a contributor, and the other was a website where anyone could contribute. Fox also requested a temporary restraining order (denied August 20, 2003) to restrain the distribution of the book until their request for a preliminary injunction was heard by the court.[7] In response, Franken joked that he had trademarked the word "funny", and that Fox had infringed his intellectual property rights by characterizing him as "unfunny." Franken's then-unreleased book subsequently rose to the #1 sales position on Amazon.com's best-seller list from number 489 (his second #1 bestseller after Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, which attained the top of the New York Times' list in 1996). On August 22, U.S. District Court judge Denny Chin heard arguments from attorneys representing the plaintiff and the defendant regarding Fox News's request for an injunction to prevent Franken from releasing the book with its current title. In a hearing punctuated at times by laughter from the assembled spectators,[8] Chin questioned Fox News attorney Dori Ann Hanswirth harshly about her contention that the phrase "fair and balanced" on the cover of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them was likely to confuse consumers into believing that the book was produced or endorsed by Fox News Channel. At one point he asked Hanswirth, "Do you think that the reasonable consumer would believe, seeing the word lie above Mr. O'Reilly's face, that Mr. O'Reilly or Fox were endorsing this book?" Chin denied the injunction and said that the case was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally". He went on to suggest that Fox News' trademark on the phrase "fair and balanced" could be invalid. Three days later, Fox News Channel filed to drop the lawsuit. Though O'Reilly denies it, Franken believes that the commentator goaded Fox News into suing him. In the paperback edition of his book, Franken recalls an incident at the BookExpo where, as O'Reilly and Fox News colleague Shepard Smith were waiting for a hotel shuttle, O'Reilly said, "I'm gonna sue him! I'm gonna sue him!" A week later, Franken's publisher received a letter from Fox saying they were planning to sue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_v._Franken- published: 26 Oct 2013

Sen Franken:Why Repealing Obamacare Is A Dumb Idea
Sen Franken:Why Repealing Obamacare Is A Dumb Idea
Partial transcript of Senator Al Franken's (DFL- Minnesota) speech about Republican threats to shut down the government unless "Obamacare" is defunded. "The fact is, if the law is repealed, a lot of things Americans like will be taken away from them. Americans don't want seniors' prescription drug costs to go up; and they don't want children with pre-existing conditions to be kicked off their health plans—which are just a couple of the things that would happen if the law were repealed. "Last year, more than 54,000 seniors in Minnesota got a 50 percent discount on their covered brand-name prescription drugs when they hit the donut hole. This discount resulted in an average savings of $644 per person, and a total savings of more than 34 million dollars in Minnesota alone. And we're not done—by 2020, the donut hole will be closed completely. That would go away if we repealed the health reform law. "And thanks to a provision that allows young adults up to age 26 to stay on their parents' health insurance, 35,000 young people in Minnesota and more than 3 million nationally were able to keep their health coverage. Those young people would be kicked off their coverage if we repealed the health care law. "Health reform also ended insurance companies setting lifetime limits on the amount of care that you can receive. So if you or a loved one gets sick, you can never be told by your health insurer, that's it—no more coverage for you, go ahead and file for bankruptcy. And guess what—if Congress repealed the health reform law, that would go away too. "I'm not saying the law is perfect. But if there are problems, the American people want us to work together to fix them, not to refight old fights."- published: 27 Sep 2013
