MRC Study Reveals PolitiFact’s Dramatic Tilt Against Trump and Republicans
A NewsBusters analysis of PolitiFact ratings from January through August 2026 found that Republicans were rated Mostly False or worse in 75 percent of their fact checks.
Democrats received only 37 total fact checks during the same period, with just 37.8 percent receiving Mostly False or worse ratings.
PolitiFact flagged President Trump with Mostly False or worse ratings in 33 out of 39 fact checks this year, including seven Pants On Fire ratings.
The findings demonstrate how the supposedly “nonpartisan” fact-checking outlet is applying disproportionate scrutiny to Republicans heading into the fall election season.
