It’s an old stereotype that politicians are likely to “massage the truth” a little bit. That’s probably as generous as that can be said.
With that in mind, I was intrigued recently when PolitiFact celebrated their tenth anniversary. PolitiFact is a non-partisan, independent organization that

HE MUST INCREASE, BUT I MUST DECREASE.
