Right to Lie?

I read the article about 'The Right to Lie". It was a very interesting article to read because I had never thought about this conflict before. I have been beginning to ask myself, "Is it Constitutional for a candidate, governor, mayor, or president to lie?" Listen to this, "Many voters rely on the news media and independent fact-checkers to determine when a politician is telling the truth or twisting it." Here's my other question, "Are the leaders saying the truth but the can the media be one who have been twisting words?" It's kind of hard to determine that, but I believe that the only best way to find out is through the debates on television. That's when the leaders say what they have to and want to say.

But it's true that many of us do follow the media as if they were our parents, meaning that we listen to what they have to say and believe in it. Now here's another question, "If a leader does lie to his or her people, how does that make them a better person?" You see, I believe that when you say something, or promise something and you fail to do it, you lose your people because many people counted on YOU. Everything that a leader should say should mean it. A leader says things for a purpose.
