Lie-O-Meter – Zimpapers

Posted by ZDN on November 6, 2009

Week Ending 6 November 2009 The lies just keep on coming! This week it’s the trusty state media journalists who take the cake for most outrageous fibs of the week. Take the gem from the Herald, which lauds Gideon Gono as an economic saviour. Or the lie, again from the Herald, that the Americans admire Zanu-PF! Fancy that. They just keep getting more creative! So here we go – the lies...

Posted by ZDN on November 5, 2009

Posted by ZDN on October 30, 2009

Week Ending 30 October 2009 Our Lie-O-Meter needle remains firmly in the 'pants on fire' zone as Zanu-PF ministers continue to concoct a whole host of lies.

Week ending 16 October 2009 Charamba, Madala himself and lots of others have lied their heads off in public this week.

LIE-O-METER – Jonathan Moyo

In his latest column for Zimbabwe’s Sunday Mail, he accuses Finance Minister Tendai Biti of “dangerous treachery” and of trying to “destroy” the government. So we couldn’t resist: We made our own polygra...
