Concerning right-wing radio shortly before the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election, in NOW (17 December 2004) http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript351_full.html
Context: On the eve of the election last month my wife Judith and I were driving home late in the afternoon and turned on the radio for the traffic and weather. What we instantly got was a freak show of political pornography: lies, distortions, and half-truths — half-truths being perhaps the blackest of all lies. They paraded before us as informed opinion.

“901. Halfe the world knowes not how the other halfe lies.”
This is printed in some editions as: Half the world knows not how the other half lives.
Jacula Prudentum (1651)
“Lies are as important as truth, for without lies, the truth is worthless.”
This Other Eden (1993)
“It is as much an error to take truth for lies, as lies for truth.”

“An aphorism can never be the whole truth; it is either a half-truth or a truth-and-a-half.”
