Phil1111 1,149 #1 December 18, 2017 2017 Lie of the Year: Russian election interference is a 'made-up story' When the nation’s commander-in-chief refuses to acknowledge a threat to U.S. democracy, it makes it all the more difficult to address the problem. For this reason, we name Trump’s claim that the Russia interference is a hoax as our Lie of the Year for 2017. Readers of PolitiFact also chose the claim as the year's most significant falsehood by an overwhelming margin. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/dec/12/2017-lie-year-russian-election-interference-made-s/ 2016 Lie of the Year Readers’ Poll results The entire 2016 election has won this year’s reader competition for most significant falsehood. President-elect Donald Trump, 2015 Lie of the Year winner and defending champion of last year’s reader poll, finished in second place with his Pants on Fire claim of "large scale election fraud happening on and before election day." The trend of fake news, made-up stories that go viral, nabbed third place. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/dec/12/2016-lie-year-readers-poll-results/ That makes trump as the outright winner or leading participant in winner in three years in a row!!. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/dec/12/2016-lie-year-readers-poll-results/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
