No that is not the point. The point is that politicians lie and always have lied also historically.

Yes they always lied, but they used to be punished if they were caught. The fact that it's easier to catch them now shouldn't change that.
No they didn't use to get punished anymore than they do today and I would urge you to find any base for that claim.

Nothing's changed.
