A Public Leaderboard of Political Lies
Political lies are everywhere and accountability is nowhere. A false claim gets made on television, travels for a news cycle, and is forgotten before the correction lands. The receipts exist — scattered, unsearchable, and never assembled into anything a citizen can actually browse. There is no durable public record that ties what a public figure said to what was actually true, and ranks them by how often they mislead.
Lháři ("Liars") turns accountability into a public scoreboard. At its center is a leaderboard that ranks public figures by their record of falsehood, with the worst offenders on the podium. Around it sits a searchable archive where every claim is laid out across three columns — what they said, the reality, and the evidence — alongside per-person profiles that show how often, and in what ways, each figure misleads. The whole thing is built to be browsed, shared, and argued about, not buried in a footnote.
Fact-checking today is dry, slow, and instantly forgotten — structurally weaker than the lie it answers. Lháři's insight is to make accountability competitive and visible: a ranked, gamified, shareable record carries the same virality the original claim did. Honesty becomes something a public figure can be seen to lose at.
Civic tech and media accountability is fundamentally an institutional and public-good market, but one with real reach — fact-checking content reliably draws large audiences, and a structured, competitive accountability platform is built to spread far beyond them.
Lháři's vision is to be the permanent public scoreboard for political honesty — the place a citizen goes to check what a figure actually said versus what was true, and to see, at a glance, who lies the most.
