She's been feeding a line to Mitch.

Hi,
Does the above mean "She's been making up a story to Mitch" or "She's been telling lies to Mitch?" Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

It's a prepared story/statement of some sort -- something that's been concocted to achieve a certain effect. It could be an out-and-out lie, it could be intended to mislead but fall short of being an actual lie, it could be "spin", etc.
