    There are multiple issues with this article.
    1. It’s pretty well documented that Politifact is heavily biased toward the democratic agenda. Google “politifact bias” and find multiple articles. Of course I don’t believe everything I find on the internet – which is why, in part, I don’t believe Politifact.
    1a. Related: How is it possible that all republicans lie more than all democrats? This data alone proves my point above. You have to be a fool to believe that democrats are more honest, generally, than republicans.
    2. There is no discussion about the severity or impact of the lies. I can tell my wife that I forgot the bread – when I never wanted it in the first place. Or I can tell my wife that I was working late when I was really out having an affair. The severity of the two lies are significantly different.
    3. The article talks about Trump’s anti-women commentary without offering any evidence. It also never mentions the severity of Clinton’s lies regarding Benghazi and email servers. It’s quite evident that Mormon Press and this author are biased. This is not a news article, it is an opinion piece, and should be labeled as such.
