> A study of lights at night suggests dictators lie about economic growth The lights -- nice source of data! So, this claim is about "dictators" and "economic growth".

Since politicians lie about political issues, as just a special case dictators lie about economic growth! Ha ha. But the fraction of politicians I believe are lying is so large, I'm not laughing at my own joke.
