When uploaded to Netflix, an episode of the educational children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" cut out a segment saying that chromosomes determine one's gender.
[...] While noncontroversial at the time, the 1996 segment appears to contradict Netflix's new series "Bill Nye Saves the World."
The new show endorses a socially liberal understanding of gender, under which gender is defined by self-identification rather than genetics and there are more than just the two traditional genders.
People, people, people... Say it with me: The Internet Never Forgets.

That's stupid. You really want to try to argue that lying is essentially the same as trying to find a term for a new idea?
My favourite example of lying by deliberate misuse of words: When the NSA redefined 'collect' to let them lie to a court about collecting data. [eff.org]
