Fact checking has become a part of political campaign coverage. This has given rise to organizations that do this as a business or avocation. The current candidates and their staffs should avail themselves of these organizations to insure that what they say is correct. Why should they do this when it is apparently more appealing to the voting public to hear salacious,  sometimes spectacular lies and misinformation. We voters have always listened intently to hear the worst about a candidate but not so much when the truth is uttered. When we hang on the misinformation, we also hang ourselves. Fact checkers give us a way to the truth and thereby in a better position to vote intelligently.
