Point of English usage: "TV lies" is reduntant. 'TV' pretty much means 'lies', and 'lies' pretty much means 'TV'. So saying "TV lies" pretty much amounts to "lies are lies" or, equivalently, "TV is TV". And I think most of us in Mpls knew that before. Paradox: Suppose, just suppose, TV were to say "TV lies" or "TV lies always". What then? If it always lies, then if it says it is lying, it must be telling the truth... but we KNOW it never does that (sponsors would never stand for it) so....
