Premises:

My family watches the news for [weather] and [ye local murder].
My friend says: his dad says: "the news lies."
Parents are trustworthy, and cops can't lie to the news.

Conclusion:

They lie about the WEATHER!?

They frequently do! Like when they report on catastrophic flooding by finding a stopped up drain and standing in it ankle deep and shouting about how awful it is as cars drive by behind them on the slightly wet roads.
