Finalists announced for 2011 Lie of the Year Later this month, we'll announce PolitiFact's Lie of the Year -- the most significant falsehood of 2011, as chosen by the editors and reporters on the PolitiFact National staff. We're reviewing claims we've rated False or Pants on Fire and will choose the one that played the biggest role in the national discourse. Today we're announcing our 10 finalists, which range from the claim by many Democrats that Republicans voted to end Medicare, to the
statement from Rep. Michele Bachmann that the HPV vaccine can cause mental retardation.
As in past years, we'd like to hear from you. Please vote for your favorite for the coveted Readers' Choice Award. (In previous years, both readers and the PolitiFact staff have selected the same falsehoods.)
Have a good weekend. Cheers,
Bill  | — Bill Adair
