It has gotten way out of hand! Is it this bad across the globe?
Politicians, the media, and pollsters should be held accountable for misleading the public, especially during election cycles.
Lying is not illegal, unless you are under oath..... but it should be for the people and organizations that have are responsible for leading our country and reporting the news!
Treason is upon us!

Albert Jones used to run for office in Louisiana on a platform of requiring all candidates to take a lie detector test.

He also tried to put Super (N word) as his nickname on the ballot.

Politicians would have to write and pass the law, therefore no.

Haven't you watched the news.
Truth- whatever Biden says
Lie - whatever Trump says

Law - we will rig the election against liars as defined by us

Nope, too many sheep out there that aren't smart enough to know what is fact and what is fiction. Feelings are all they care about and the advice of "entertainers".

Unfortunately, stupidity isn't painful...

Yup, it's called the First Ammendment, but that law will never be upheld as our journalists are propagandists.

Gone are the days where jornalist loved to investigate for 'truth'. Now, it is only investigation for their side's story, even if it relies on untruth. Who can forget CNN & MSNBC stating "the walls are closing in on Trump" based on the phony Russian collusion b.s...

Would probably be easier to make a law to make the sun stop shining

There's no such thing as a "lie detector". A polygraph examines how sincere and truthful someone is and whether or not they intend to deceive, but doesn't detect lies.

In fact, you are coached to lie on certain questions.

Lying is not illegal, unless you are under oath..

not even that stops them from lying.......because they usually always protect each other.

This is about as possible as the unicorn “equal results” has in improving everyone’s lives. Never.

We would have to have robots running the government at that point.

It’s pretty crazy for sure. Trump does a lot of exaggeration and embellishments but I just listened to Obammy about two hours ago just fricking lie unchecked for damn near an hour.....it was sickening. There will be no fact checking on Obammy unlike the fact checking against Trump which never ends.
