Maybe I should frame this differently. You like the free market, right?
Let's say I run PR for Pfizer. Everything is going fine. I make occasional statements on behalf of the company to the press regarding this and that. A particular Pfizer product, an antidepressant, starts causing the rather alarming side effect of cerebral hemorrhage, and it's a common side effect. The company either does bullshit research to cover their ass or is grossly incompetent and find no such link in their research. I go on TV and say "Pfizer isn't killing anyone". Well, Pfizer actually is killing people. Wouldn't that make me a liar?
In his state of the Union in January of 2003, Bush has said that Iraq had 500 tons of chemical weapons including sarin, mustard and vx; he said they had upwards of 300,000 chemical weapons; he said they aid and protect terrorists including al Qaeda; he said Iraq had attempted to purchase metal tubes for nukes; he said that Iraq was trying to get uranium from Africa.
All of these claims are completely false.
