Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them is a book by Al Franken purporting to uncover inaccurate or misleading statements by conservatives. The implication is that liberals, by contrasts, adhere to a higher standard and would never lie or mislead.

The book's subtitle used the phrase fair and balanced popularized by the Fox News Channel, which sued (unsuccessfully) for trademark infringement. Franken called this an attempt to "prevent the publication" of his Lying Liars book.[1] In truth, this in itself is a misleading statement as Franklin could have avoided the controversy by simply removing the phrase and then no effort would have been made to stop his book.

Notes

  1. Franken said," ... the Fox News Channel, a news organization, tried to prevent the publication of [my] book." [1]
