This is the very definition of election interference. Misinforming the public about things and driving them to vote based on lies is interfering in an election. I don't care if it's an op/ed. You can give your opinions all you want but, not on something that is a lie. If the candidate lies they should be held responsible as well. Locked up. Fined. Disqualified from the race. Period.
The problem is, the liars make the laws.
1) All parties lie to different degrees (I'd argue the left is more insidious and has nearly the entire media/hollywood/other industries on there side, but i digress)
2) Who determines the truth? How do you fact check the fact checkers?
Hint: it's nearly impossible. The closest thing I've seen to relaible fact checking is crowd-sourced "community notes" on twitter, and even that, i dont know. That's why we have free speech. It's up to you, as the consumer, to digest and make your own conclusions. Otherwise, you just get a bunch of "fact checkers" that arent fact checked themself that can control and censor everyone.
Are you seriously trying to say there is no way to find out if something is true? This is ridiculous.
