Politifact

When it comes to the question of transgenderism being a mental illness, the "independent fact checkers" might need a new rating: "Factually Correct, Politically Incorrect." When a man with male genitalia thinks he's a woman, the people who pose as the Guardians of Fact say he's not wrong. You're wrong to say he's mentally ill. Because the "Science" has genuflected to transgender ideology.

During Wednesday’s GOP Presidential Debate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his state’s history standards on slavery by labeling criticisms of them a “hoax” that has been perpetrated by Vice President Kamala Harris. Such a defense did not sit well with the fact-checking industry despite DeSantis being correct.

PolitiFact could hire a full-time fact checker just to monitor The View for incredibly inaccurate and silly liberal comments. But they're all liberals, so they won't. Instead, they posted a September 14 fact check of a satirical site that imagined the uproar if black conservative Candace Owens was invited to join the cast. That's about as likely as Joy Behar becoming a Bible-thumper…

The assortment of online fact-checkers really did not appreciate Republican presidential candidates criticizing Democrats’ extreme abortion policies during their Wednesday debate, but abortion wasn’t the only topic they incorrectly condemned the candidates on. The same cabal of self-appointed guardians of the truth also declared Critical Race Theory to be a made up issue that Republicans,…

As Republicans prepare for their first primary debate, PolitiFact’s Amy Sherman came running to the defense of President Biden and his China policy on Tuesday, rating former Vice President Mike Pence “mostly false” for claiming Biden sent Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to “kowtow” before Beijing after the spy balloon incident.

PolitiFact celebrated its 16th birthday on Tuesday and while some may mark the occasion by remembering about that one time they defended President Obama by citing an arms control treaty that went defunct in 1936, author Katie Sanders celebrated by highlighting the website’s devotion to left-wing causes.

Florida Governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis recently declared that “we’ve eliminated Critical Race Theory in our K through 12 schools.” It was a rather simple statement, but was true, but yet, PolitiFact's Samantha Putterman still rated it “mostly false” on Monday.

Grace Abels, “a staff writer focused on LGBTQ issues,” for PolitiFact came out with an explainer piece on Friday that sought to defend the practice of “chestfeeding” for “people who identify as men or as nonbinary.” Seriously, this is a fact-checking outlet.

While PolitiFact refused to fact-check President Biden’s truly insane claim that he had “ended cancer,” they and writer Sara Swann were busy Tuesday running cover by fact-checking whether or not Biden awkwardly walked off an MSNBC set last month, seemingly suggesting what he did was normal. They even used this author’s tweet to do it!

PolitiFact waded into the controversy surrounding Florida’s new history standards by rating Vice President Kamala Harris “mostly true” for her statement that the state is teaching “enslaved people benefited from slavery.” To reach such a conclusion the trio of Sofia Bliss-Carrascosa, Louis Jacobson, and Amy Sherman had to tie themselves into a giant pretzel by simply downplaying evidence…

The liberals at PolitiFact flagged Fox News as "False" on July 11 as it sought to defend the "banned" book Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe. Fox made an error, reporting the National Education Association promoted the graphically sexual book to kids, when they were promoting it as summer reading for teachers.

CNN Tonight host Alisyn Camerota tried and failed to fact-check an ad featuring Casey DeSantis where she touted her husband Ron’s record of banning “child mutilation.” As Camerota tells it, DeSantis’s team admits they have no proof of such events ever happening, but that is not true.

PolitiFact has shown no hesitation when it comes to rating conservative claims about Target false, but when it came to a recent true claim from The Daily Wire and Fox News, about Target funding GLSEN, an activist group that favors concealing child transitions from parents, author Madison Czopek declined to give them a true rating on Wednesday, likely because PolitiFact believes such…

After launching his presidential campaign on Twitter Spaces, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was condemned by PolitiFact for his assertion that Florida has not banned any books. That summary did not give DeSantis a rating for his claims, but on Wednesday PolitiFact returned to the claim and rated it “false.” Yet, the article itself suggests that a “false” rating is overzealous and is ultimately…
