		Examples of liberal bias may include, for example, a tendency to inflame stories which suggest that guns are responsible for crime, or as some have argued, a tendency to portray Republican leaders as less intelligent, compared to their Democratic counterparts.
		Those who expressed points of view further to the left were generally ignored, whereas those who expressed moderate or conservative points of view were actively denigrated or labled as a minority point of view.

		Some of the lies are pretty major considering who's telling them, some are laughably minor, but around them Franken weaves a case to show just how downright dishonest and manipulative the current leaders of America and their high profile media supporters really are.
		This book will probably be hated by those on the right, but it shouldn't be, when lies are told by politicians and the media those lies are being sold to everyone regardless of their political persuasion, the fact that you might have a natural tendency to want to believe them is irrelevant.
		When a right wing politician lies he lies to the right too, and by doing so undermines the position of those on the right.

	Bookreporter.com - LIES: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken
		LIES and the majority of Franken's skits for Saturday Night Live have a number of things in common: they have an air of "Oh, aren't I clever" about them that suffocates whatever humor might otherwise have been found; they go on (and on) for far too long; and ultimately, aren't funny.
		While LIES purports to be satire (particularly when the author is the subject of a trademark infringement suit), satire is supposed to be funny.
		LIES was written with TeamFranken, and Franken graciously pictures the group and introduces them, telling us enough about each one so we know that, while fine people they may be, we will never have any of them over for a barbecue.

		Leading the pack were the folks at Comcast and E!, who not only insisted for weeks that network prexyprexy Mindy Herman wasn't going anywhere but were positively indignant that anyone would suggest otherwise -- right until they announced her departure.
		THE SAME PROBLEM applies to networks pitching advertisers, who have finally begun wising up to the fact that those elaborate upfrontupfront sales presentations touting the fall season are frequently a shell game -- an elaborate case of bait and switch.
		That's a lesson that especially applies to corporate spokespeople, who will exhaust plenty of employers in their careers if they're lucky enough but will likely face the same curmudgeonly reporters and critics until someone decides to impose term limits on us.

		Here he sticks it to the most right-wing administration in history, proving once and for all that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and their oil-rich cronies have twisted the truth over the 2000 election, over policies that shaft the poor and screw the environment – and of course over those ever-elusive weapons of mass destruction.
		The right-wing media tells us constantly that the problem with the mainstream media is that it has a liberal bias.
		We have to expose those who bear false witness for the false witness bearers that they are.

		Even those who have already read Franken's book should take the time to listen to this superb audio adaptation, which is enhanced by Franken's impeccable sense of comic timing, eerily precise impersonations and inclusion of source materials.
		It just doesn't seem to bother them that "W" is shackling us and our children with trillions of dollars in deficits while placing tens of thousands of Americans in harm's way waging an overseas war that has nothing to do with counter-terrorism.

		And yet, even Al Franken's keenest fans may sense that, in most of the "lies" he detects, there is (shall we say) a lack of oomph.
		Who would lay out $ 24.95 to be told that George W. Bush's claim to have eliminated income taxes for millions of low-income taxpayers is a lie because it says nothing about payroll and excise taxes?

		Lies (and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them) is a thoroughly entertaining book by an author who documents his arguments with facts.
		Al Franken presents a "fair and balanced" attack on the lies of the American far right and never ceases to entertain and inform the reader.
		Overall, he has less of an agenda than Moore who I regard as a polemicist, he is funnier and more precise; it is like comparing a scalpel to a sledgehammer.

		He also reveals how a ‘neutral’ American media is bullied into spinning those lies, with the Death Star-like empire of Fox News and hysterical right-wing hacks attacking all liberal thought.
		And Al shoots them down by doing what they’re incapable of: getting his facts straight.

		Quite presentable, he almost sounds reasonable, though he turns out to be as big a liar as "John West, PhD", albiet a bit more subtle.
		And here's the embarrassing fact, that the lying liars keep dodging: the overwhelming consensus among credentialed experts and those who publish in journals refereed by their scientific peers is that Darwin's theory of evolution is true, and the criticisms are without merit.

		Instead it is here because Al Franken is an activist masquerading as a 'satirist' who deliberately smears and defames people he disagrees with and people searching for the truth should have the recourse to find it.
		His latest book purports to expose liars when in fact it is filled with spin, trickery and many examples of items that, if held to Franken's own standards, are outright LIES to Franken himself.
