Carson and Trump are the least truthful, and Clinton and Sanders the most truthful, according to PolitiFact's analysis
The website doesn't check every politician's or candidate's statements, just the ones likely to provoke the most debate. But even by that scattershot standard, the website has had its work cut out for it this election cycle, as PolitiFact editor Angie Drobnic Holan discussed in a recent piece for the New York Times.
PolitiFact has found that the biggest liar of this election cycle so far is Ben Carson. Not a single one of Carson's 25 statements fact-checked by the site was judged to be true; only one was rated "mostly true," and just three "half true."

It has to be Hillary.
I honestly think she is incapable of being anything but corrupt. Corrupt in every way.

Looks like Politifacts would be in the top 5, too.

Can you believe any sane person would write an article like that?
Besides, “Politifact” usually only fact checks politician’s controversial statements. Hillary has been proven to be a liar numerous times.

The left is truthful because to them right is wrong, good is evil and bitter is sweet. When the press views it the same way then of course, the liars tell the truth.
