Aug. 14th, 2003 12:41 amI have added the following note to my User Info:
In direct challenge to FNN's assertion of trademark over the phrase, I assert that this is a "fair and balanced" journal.
I contend that this phrase has been in common use amongst journalists prior to FNN's assertion of trade mark, and their attempt to assert ownership of the term is as erroneous as LucasFilm's former claim over the phrase "galactic empire."
I note that failure on FNN's part to sue me will constitute a failure to protect the mark, which can nullify any claim they might otherwise have over it.
I encourage you to join me, and everyone else who is protesting their attempt to intimidate Al Franken and Penguin Group.
