I really wish journalists would frame lying in politics as a weakness, as a sign of a lost argument, as morally wrong, as unfair on voters, as manipulative and bad for democracy, rather than the way it is currently presented - as a cunning political strategy.

“politician x lies through her teeth about immigrants”

More interested in gotcha moments and click bait reporting.
It has little to do with morals.
