Danish term or phrase: Løgnens horisont er nemlig ganske lille.
Selvfølgelig forudsat at virksomheden har ren samvittighed. Det skal den have, for i fremtiden vil det ikke være muligt at bruge spin til at skabe en fiktiv virkelighed. Løgnens horisont er nemlig ganske lille.

Jeg mener ikke, at dette er en fast vending - er der nogen, der har et bud?
