The Washington Post fact checkers are changing their policy. It used to be that when a politician would lie, The Post would judge the lie on a scale of one to four Pinocchio’s. But Trump is such a prolific liar, they’ve had to introduce a new level: The Bottomless Pinocchio.
To qualify for this Bottomless Pinocchio rating, “The claims must have received three or four Pinocchio’s from the fact checker, and they must have been repeated at least 20 times.”
But so far The Post has not identified any other current elected official who meets the standard other than Trump. Well, that’s quite a distinction. For Donald Trump they had to invent a new scale. Just like the one at the White House that only goes to 239 pounds. --Stephen Colbert
