Politifact

Big Tech censorship went from targeting statements of former President Donald Trump to targeting quotes of current President Biden’s embarrassing statements. Heritage Action was their latest target.

The badly disguised Democrats at PolitiFact haven’t fact-checked Vice President Kamala Harris on anything in eight months, but they demonstrated their Princess-and-the-Pea level of sensitivity of defensiveness by throwing a “False” flag at former Trump adviser Stephen Miller on Monday for mocking Harris on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures. 

In the latest of their fatuous “fact checks” that rate something “Mostly False” as they acknowledge it’s actually true, PolitiFact took after Fox News host Maria Bartiromo for saying this to fellow Fox host Jesse Watters on his show on February 22: “We have doubled our (oil) imports from Russia in the last year.”

Liberal "fact check" websites are starting to hate any mockery of the dark-blue District of Columbia requiring an ID for restaurants (and many other public establishments), but not at the polls. First it was USA Today, and now it's PolitiFact. Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) drew a "Mostly False" rating for tweeting "The Dems demand a photo ID to get a cheeseburger but not one to vote. The…

On January 24, PolitiFact wrote a “fact check” throwing a “Mostly False” rating at Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears for an TV interview with Fox News on Martin Luther King Day claiming the school system in Loudoun County, Virginia spent $300,000 on critical race theory. When faced with the facts, PolitiFact wouldn't budget. She was still "Mostly False." No, they were. 

 PolitiFact begs for donations by proclaiming "Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy." But this "independent fact-checker" routinely betrays a tilt by coming out more aggressively to “correct” attacks on Democrats. In Biden's first year, MRC analysts found Biden was fact-checked 40 times, while Biden critics were checked on 230 occasions.…

Back on December 15, the organization Families Against Fentanyl exposed how Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data showed deadly drug overdoses from fentanyl have become the leading cause of death among people between the ages of 18 and 45 and not the coronavirus. While still taking Covid seriously, one could have expected the major broadcast networks to acknowledge it. Since…

Over and over again, we find "independent fact checkers" come rushing to President Biden's defense when he says something that sounds wacky. Spencer Brown at Townhall complained Friday that PolitiFact closely followed Team Biden in crying "missing context" on Biden saying they would make sure Americans are "paying their fair share for gas." What does that mean? 

On November 15, Rep. Cori Bush (radical D-Mo.) tweeted that “When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us.” Where were the “Fact Checkers”? FactCheck.Org? No. The Washington Post? No. PolitiFact ignored it, although they posted two “False” ratings on Kevin McCarthy on November 19.

PolitiFact gets very defensive when Republicans attack the Biden administration. Attorney General Merrick Garland has zero fact checks from PolitiFact, ever. But on Monday, PolitiFact's Jon Greenberg gave Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) a "False" for an October 5 tweet about Garland's orders to investigate parents as potential violent criminals. 

At the blog Legal Insurrection, Stacey Matthews picked on PolitiFact for its incredibly lame Twitter criticism of Sen. Charles Grassley at a Wednesday Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on H.R. 4, which Democrats call the "John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act." The senator accurately noted polls show a strong majority of Americans favor voter ID laws.

In the last few years, Facebook has become Public Enemy #1 in the media’s imagination, and Mark Zuckerberg is suddenly the creepy James Bond villain. Celebrated PBS filmmaker Ken Burns even ranted on a podcast that Zuckerberg was an “enemy of the state” who should be in jail. Conservatives don’t like how much they are censored on Facebook. Liberals don’t like how conservatives are never…

PolitiFact just can't avoid the chance to defend Joe Biden, even if the "facts" at hand are pretty much true. On August 23, Louis Jacobson threw a "Half True" at a Daily Wire meme on Facebook about Biden cancelling the Keystone pipeline out of Canada, and now we're importing Russian oil instead. How dare conservatives connect the two! 

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell, in conjunction with the Free Speech Alliance, joined 10 other conservative leaders in demanding the International Fact-Checking Network remove PolitiFact as a fact-checker for violating IFCN’s Code of Principles.
