Politicians are better liars than writers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The best liars lie with their eyes rather than with their words. This might put writers at a disadvantage.
Politicians often lie.
Politicians are masters of the art of deception.
To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.
Politicians, it's in their job description to just lie, every day.
A writer's job is to tell the truth.
If you tell the truth you get into trouble, and that's why politicians are extremely dull.
Writers, all the good ones, are Natural Born Liars.
