'''Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them''' is a book by [[Al Franken]] purporting to uncover inaccurate or misleading statements by [[conservative]]s. The implication is that [[liberal]]s, 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, a statement that was blatantly untrue.<ref>Franken said," ... the Fox News Channel, a news organization, tried to prevent the publication of [my] book."

It is ironic that Franklin, while trying to sell a book that shows that conservatives are misleading and uses some form of the word lying three times in the title, would blatantly lie to try to promote it.
