Leans heavily liberal in the way they label misinformation. Factcheck.org is better

Trustworthy but with a strong leftist bias to the point where it harms the quality of their content.

Still worth checking on.

Left wing site with mission to spin news in order to promote left wing candidates
The site is owned by the Tampa Bay Times, which in turn is managed by career newspaper journalists working for an academic institute
Every single person involved in running the institute and Politifact is mainstream media left wing activist

>>78210573
the little blurb under the rating is from the actual website? Yeah, seems unbiased to me.

thanks anon.

This. It's pretty clear they're not unbiased, and will handwave away any inaccuracies made by liberal American politicians while dragging conservative politicians across hot coals for being slightly out

Very left leaning
Fully funded by Annenberg Foundation
Annenberg was one of most conservative men in America
Left his wealth to foundation, set up rules to keep his commie son out and maintain conservative views
Left Wingers hated seeing a major conservative foundation like this, set up court case where commie son challenged fathers will and took over foundation
Now exclusively used to promote hard core left wing politics
Annenberg is basically a 2nd Soros now
Annenberg funded Obama during his Chicago years, he was "CEO" of one of their operations

It's decent, but not great. The rating system is shitty. Should be numeric rather than the "mostly" bullshit.

That's where most of the bias lies. They will label it mostly true is they like it, mostly false is they hate it, or half true if they can't get away spinning it.


Pretty much everything that comes out of a politician's mouth is a half truth/exaggeration.

Tampa Bay Times founder left the paper and money in will to found institute
The Institute, paper, and politifact are all divisions of a single property run by a single board of directors
Board is comprised of professional journalist and journalism professors
Board is as hard core left wing as last statement would lead you to expect

>>78211435
Almost all the major American foundations are pozzed as fuck (i.e. Ford, Carnegie etc).

I'm surprised conservatives haven't bothered attacking them since the '50s

You've been fooled again.

Like most of you fucking retards, Trump fell for the Birther nonsense. Rather than own up to your catastrophic cognitive failure, now you're pretending the folks who set the record straight are the bad guys.

Grow up, grow a pair and stop falling for the obvious propaganda.

PolitiFact misleads with their name like the Federal Reserve.

The first Obama fact-check?

"The Census Bureau, which tracks annual wages, found women who worked full-time, year-round in 2012 made 77 cents for every dollar men earned across the country -- a percentage in line with what it’s been for the last few years. This comparison includes all male and female workers regardless of occupation."

The first Cruz factcheck?

“Look, these guys are so nutty that the federal government is going after school districts, trying to force them to let boys shower with little girls,” Cruz responded.

The reason Cruz lied is because (1) the federal government was not forcing schools to allow boy to shower with girls as he claimed, (2) transgender and gender reassigned (i.e.dickless trannies) don't have all the equipment of boys, and they were the plaintiffs in the federal lawsuits.

If you are incapable of critical thinking, if you have poor cognitive skills, if objectivity is the bane of your existence, then of course you're going to fall for whatever pleases your confirmation bias. But your abject stupidity doesn't change the facts.

Trump had a wrong notion therefore Politifact is accurate in all things they rate
Wow, you're really bad at relationships, aren't you?

>>78213781
I've hated Politifact for years for a wide range of things, the birther thing was never a factor. They're just typical mainstream media liars trying to claw back credibility by declaring whatever they claim to be a "fact." Check out their handling of the rapefugee situation.
