Fox News suing Al Franken over "fair and balanced" book title

New York-AP -- The Fox News Channel is suing humorist Al Franken and his publisher to stop them from using the phrase "fair and balanced" in the title of his new book.

Fox News says it registered "fair and balanced" as a trademark in 1995. The network is seeking a court order forcing the publisher to rename the book.

The Fox lawsuit also asks for unspecified damages.

Right now, Franken's book is titled: "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."

Fox argues that the liberal comedian is using the phrase to exploit the trademark, confuse the public about the origins of the book, and boost sales.

The book is due out next month.
