oxymoron = 'redundancy; tautology'

[Jonathan Lighter]

Three highly-paid CNN anchors ask, "Are conservative women unfairly
stereotyped?"

They discuss it. Then:

Anchor 1: One of our viewers points out that "unfairly stereotyped" is an
oxymoron.

Anchor 2 [amazed]: Right!

Anchor 1: Because most stereotypes *are* unfair!

Anchors 1, 2, and 3: Hm! Huh! Ha!
