Fair and Balanced, too
I have always thought "Fair and Balanced" as a
slogan for FoxNews was blatantly false advertising. But now the BlogScott is
officially Fair and Balanced, too.
I have always thought "Fair and Balanced" as a
slogan for FoxNews was blatantly false advertising, anyway. Now they have sued
Al Franken for using it in his upcoming book "Lies and the Lying
Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right ." I guess
some folks just don't get the concept of satire. Fortunately, the most likely
result of their suit will be to drive up sales for Mr. Franken's book, which
though not due for release until next month is now #4 at Amazon.com. This sort
of thing, like the success on the bestseller lists of Stupid White Men, always
makes me feel more hopeful and
encouraged.Although my intention with
this new blog was always to be fair and balanced, following the lead of Atrios
and many other bloggers, the BlogScott is now
officially Fair and Balanced, too.
