In keeping with your theme, Lucy... Deception, inaccuracy, misrepresentation, dishonesty, distortion, vilification, fabrication, etc. All of those words have something in common: They’re all synonyms for “lie.” They also describe the following graph shown by Fox to greatly distort the effect the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts would have on the wealthy class.
