Cease & desist

CABLE king Bill O’Reilly isn’t amused by a new Web site called oreilly-sucks.com whose mission is to "expose Mr. O’Reilly as the right-wing spin doctor that he truly is." Fox News Channel lawyer Dianne Brandi recently sent a letter to the site’s creator warning that it violates O’Reilly’s civil rights by using his name "for trade or advertising purposes." Brandi demands that the site "immediately discontinue using Mr. O’Reilly’s name in any way . . . To the extent that you ignore this request, you do so at your own peril."
