  • Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right is a satirical book on American politics by left-wing comedian, political commentator and now Senator Al Franken, published in 2003 by Dutton, a subsidiary in the Penguin Group. Franken had a study group of fourteen Harvard graduate students known as "TeamFranken" to help him with the research. The book's subtitle is a parody of Fox News' tagline "Fair and Balanced. " Fox sued Franken over the use of the phrase in a short-lived lawsuit, which has been credited with increasing the sales of the book. Lies is one of several books published in 2003 written by American liberals challenging the viewpoints of conservatives such as Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter. These books by Franken and fellow authors such as Joe Conason, Michael Moore and Jim Hightower were described by columnist Molly Ivins as the "great liberal backlash of 2003."
