I've thought similar things. While both sides absolutely lie and mislead, I hate when people demand that liberals and conservatives lie equally and about equally important things. Let's not delude ourselves in an effort to look objective or nonpartisan. If the data show one side lies disproportionately to the other, that's the truth. The fact is liberals don't deny scientific facts willy-nilly when they don't like the ramifications, a large percentage of conservatives do.
While I haven't done extensive differential lie analysis, even if I did and shared it, it would be derided as partisan just because people start from the assumption of equality in lying between different groups.
