On the weekend leading up to 2016's first presidential debate, four news organizations came to a similar and sweeping conclusion: Donald Trump lies more often than Hillary Clinton.
In a normal election year this would be extraordinary. On Sunday editors and reporters at the newsrooms used another word: necessary.
The New York Times story — "A Week of Whoppers" — came out first on Saturday. Politico, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times all followed within hours.
Several of the editors who were involved said the timing was a coincidence. But there was clearly a desire to publish stories before Monday's debate, when Trump and Clinton's truthfulness will surely be at issue.
"Never in modern presidential politics has a major candidate made false statements as routinely as Trump has," the L.A. Times declared on page one of Sunday's paper.

They must figure that if they make Trump out to be a big liar voters will be less concerned with Hillary’s. lol. Won’t work. I know independents and blacks that just outright say “she’s corrupt” and “pathological liar”.
Can I get some of what they are smoking?

My first impresssion upon hearing about this “Trump Lies” campaign was to wrack my brain to find a single thing he has said that could be construed as a lie.
Then it dawned on me. Hillary is Jesus Christ incarnate to her true believer zombie followers. Any word spoken against her is abject evil.
Now I understand perfectly.
Except, of course, Hillary is no such thing and Trump eats ten penny nails for breakfast.
Leftist liberals are the most slimy, filthiest, sore excuses of humans around. People on the right are too kind and compassionate, otherwise dirty tricks would be played on liberals but all the evil is being conducted by the left.
I believe Trump more than I believe Hillary or the MSM.
