 Politifact has announced its annual “Lie of the Year” nominees, and this year they have two whoppers we think deserve special recognition. |
| One claims that climate change is a hoax; the other overstates the economic impact of Keystone XL. And Politifact is letting you vote on which one should be honored as the Lie of the Year. |
| Call out these distortions by voting for 2014’s Lie of the Year. |
| When Transcanada CEO Russ Girling claimed that the Keystone XL pipeline would create 42,000 “ongoing, enduring jobs,” he was clearly warping the findings of a report that stated that the pipeline will only create 35 direct, permanent jobs. |
| Congressional candidate Lenar Whitney gets a nod for her campaign video entitled “Global Warming is a Hoax,” which went so far as to claim that the Earth is cooling. |
| The Lie of the Year is a widely-referenced distinction that discredits falsehoods in newspapers across the country. Help us call out climate change deniers by voting for one of these bold-faced lies. |
| Thank you, |
