Did I upset you Paul?
Did you not listen to all the bullshit being said here:
- A "lie" is "an exageration".
- A ""lie"" is "a fact that a lazy journalist has not bothered to double check".
But I guess this is not journalism - more entertainment. In this category we have other "lies" aswell:
- We also have a """lie""" which is "a journalist only talking about the positive stuff - without mentioning other angles".
- And we also have a """"lie"""" which is "a journalist getting his bills payed by lets say some commercial intrest and writing what they expect him or her to say or write".
I do believe we also have a """""lie""""" but I am not sure what that is... :-) I think it is somehow linked to "earning a living" in some cases...
