logical deduction - Three statements, who is saying the truth?


Bob: Steve is lying


Steve: Bob is lying


Fred: Steve is lying or Bob is lying


"or" is inclusive


How would I approach this question? I honestly have no idea. I was thinking of making a truth table and assuming that each of them is saying the truth once and then going through the statements, but i'm not sure how I would handle the "or" bit within a truth table.
