Honesty In Politics

In this morning's edition of The Charlotte Observer was an editorial from its editorial board concerning how Republicans lied about a previous editorial of 10 days ago.

This got me thinking about the numerous times I have seen reports by "unbiased" sources comparing the statements of the leading political candidates for US president.  Below is a representative sample of the universe of fact-checking:

Is Hillary dishonest?

The Republican Party Has Institutionalized Dishonesty

Why Democrats Have Popular Presidents and Republicans Don’t

How do the Fact Checkers measure up?

Can Fact Checking be Politically “Neutral,” When Facts Are Not Equally Distributed Across the Political Spectrum?

Who lies more frequently, Republicans or Democrats?

Politicians lie, some more than others.
