Where there’s a small lie, there’s a big one

Now this is the kind of fact-checking I like to see. Patrick Nielsen Hayden exposes liars lying about book sales.

One of the main themes Patrick and his wife Teresa always seem to be exploring on their blog could be called the broken window theory of politics: where there’s a small lie, there’s almost always a big one. Catch the small lie, catch the big one.

Let’s also add: any author would be happy with 4402 book sales since March.
