Lies and the lying liars who tell them: a fair and balanced look at the Right

Franken, Al

Lies and the lying liars who tell them: a fair and balanced look at the Right - New York Plume Book 2004 - xxi, 421 p.

Al Franken, one of our Hsavviest satiristsH (People), has been studying the rhetoric of the Right. He has listened to their cries of Hslander,H Hbias,H and even Htreason.H He has examined the Bush administrationHs policies of squandering our surplus, ravaging the environment, and alienating the rest of the world. HeHs even watched Fox News. A lot. And, in this fair and balanced report, Al bravely and candidly exposes them all for what they are: liars. Lying, lying liars. Al destroys the liberal media bias myth by doing what his targets seem incapable of: getting his facts straight. Using the RightHs own words against them, he takes on the pundits, the politicians, and the issues, in the most talked about book of the year. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies sticks it to the most right-wing administration in memory, and to the right-wing media hacks who do its bidding.
