Aside from the debate of whether he's a good exec, the argument about "lying" is perceived differently from country to country. In US, lying sounds like the worst thing eva. In France it's allowed to lie for your defense, even in front of the police or of the jury. Just yesterday I saw a movie where the kid was accused of shoplifting, said "I didn't do it", then the commercant frowns, the camera focuses, eyebrows darken and he says "!and you're a LIAR!?". From here it sounds quite ridiculous because we know people are failible and they sometimes commit little frauds, which wouldn't have been found otherwise and therefore should be dismissed. Especially so-said "lying" can often be turned over if you look at the context, the lack of precision, the tone and the informal situation. It doesn't mean the executive is a good person, he seems to have used misogynist comments, privacy tampering and threatened journalists in general. Just lying is not a demonstration by itself.
