Hillary Clinton is Far More Honest Than the Propagandists are Telling You

Contrary to the propaganda you see everywhere, there is no equivalency between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump when it comes to honesty. Clinton is not only far more honest than Trump, but she is more honest than many other prominent American politicians. Comments?

Fascinating graph, Hillary even beat Sanders on lying less. I see Trump at the top of the lies chart, no surprise there.

Poltifact, a bastion of honesty and an oasis for unbiased views.

Not.

Politifact is indeed biased (being owned by a newspaper which favors Hillary),
but I think Hillary is fairly honest, albeit only compared to others of her ilk.
This is not a positive, given all she's said. It reinforces my vote against her.

The fact that Politifact has rated Republican claims false three times as often as Democratic claims does not necessarily mean that Politifact is biased. It could easily be that Republicans misrepresent the truth three times more often than Democrats. Of course, I can see why you'd cling to a weak, illogical study that concludes Politifact is biased simply because it finds Republicans misrepresenting the truth more often than Democrats.

But you're here to read opposing viewpoints.
So you're very qualified.

The fact checker in my head rates that as "pants on fire".

Sometimes.

But it dosent invalidate the value of checking things out for oneself and doing research and digging around.

Which is why I asked you - what fact checker do you recommend?

I could be merely wrong.
What's on fire then?

The one naturally built in your head. Best fact checker around.

Yeah, because we all know the truth is "whatever makes you feel good". No wonder you're a conservative.

You're dodging the question because I think it is clear that there are no fact checkers out right now that support the republican candidate. What does that tell you?

Republicans think for themselves instead of depending upon what someone else says?

It isn't about not thinking for yourself, but there are dedicated teams who give cited sources to their work. This isn't some left winger with an axe to grind. If you have something of equal caliber and research potential, share with the class and prove us all wrong. Until you or someone else steps up to plate, these "biased sources" will continue to tee off on accusations until the right can prove otherwise. A task that has failed miserably up until now.
