Al Franken and the Fox Lawsuit/ What are the Real Motives?

[Homer12]

Do you think Fox has an ulterior motive for this lawsuit?

The only reason I ask is that: if you read the personal attacks against Franken in the suit, as well as the blatent character assasination of him in it.

Which of course is in the content of a legal document, this character assasination/slander, makes no sense. How can a legal document be taken seriously with all this inside, if its only purpose is to make its trademark case: Then why the slander?

If it is personnal vendetta it will hopefully in the court of law, it will be figured out pretty quick and the case will be thrown out.

Which makes sense since (not only this but the phrase "fair and balanced" was around, way before Fox bought it).

If this lawsuit is so obviously flawed against Franken (whom would have much evidence to counter Fox with the Franken/O'reilly war going on), then tell me WHY would Fox do this?

Do they want free publicity and advertising from their competitors as well?


Any ideas my fellow DU'ers?
