None dare call it a lie

The President who does not lie:

How the American media use euphemisms, substitutions, and muted language to re-define and soft-pedal the word “LIE!”

[...]

Lie: (n.) a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive.

TVNewsLies Editorial

To summarize, President Clinton's little white lie about an affair with an intern became front-page news, the talk of the town, and grounds for his impeachment, but our valiant Free Press can't bring itself to characterize President Bush's numerous prevarications for what they really are: big, fat lies about some, ah, fairly serious matters.

See the definition, above, of lie -- a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive, and please, read the article.
