50% OF MY FOLLOWERS BELIEVE OREILLY WAS A GOOD SPORT ABOUT GETTING HIS ASS KICKED,

Publication of the above resulted in Fox v. Franken
For its part, Fox News Channel was ridiculed by commentators and bloggers on both sides of the political divide, many of whom suggested that the network had filed the suit to placate Bill O'Reilly in the wake of his run-in with Franken at the BookExpo panel.
Drawing on Judge Chin's concluding remarks, Franken suggested that Fox News adopt "wholly without merit" as its new slogan to replace the possibly invalid "fair and balanced"

Bill kinda earned my respect here, though. Sure he lost, but at least he didn't duck the debate against Stewart out of fear of getting owned. Some other Republicans like to talk a good game, but they never want to step into the ring against the opposing side for the hardball questions.

It's always fun to watch Bill get flustered, floundered, and flayed by John.
