Fact Smatter Chart, May 2016: Presidential Candidates’ Truth Ratings
SRP-Politifact Chart For May 2, 2016
Political Lies
If you’ve been keeping up with our podcasts, then you’re familiar with our series Word Smatter with Jan the Man. Every week, we tear apart the language of the 2016 Presidential candidates to figure out exactly what these masters of ambiguity are talking about.
And once a month, our View-From-Below reporter, Kissonia Marvel, calls ‘em out. This graphic shows which candidates care about the facts, and which ones don’t.
Data compiled from Politifact.com.
If you draw a line between where the truth stops and the falseness starts (between the purple and the yellow), it’s amazing to see the disparity between the two Democratic candidates and Donald Trump. Thanks again, Kissonia!
