Politifact

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…

How many PolitiFact fact-checkers does it take to fact-check a presidential announcement? Apparently four, as that is how many reporters it took to assess seven statements from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Wednesday campaign launch on Twitter Spaces.

PolitiFact’s Grace Abels asked on Monday if gender dysphoria is a mental disorder and while she never actually answered the question, Abels was sure of one thing: conservatives are wrong.

PolitiFact has a bad left-wing tilt. Since becoming vice president, Kamala Harris has only six "fact checks," and four of them were rated "Mostly True." In that time frame, former Vice President Mike Pence also has six checks, and none of them were "True" or "Mostly True." It only gets worse the more you look into it.

Conservative radio host Dan Bongino tore into a number of leftist so-called fact-checkers for their connection to activist, leftist billionaire George Soros.

Writing in Tuesday’s print edition of the New York Post, our friend Matt Palumbo of the Bongino Report took a blowtorch to the liberal media-selected, so-called fact-checkers for their latest antics and lies in order to defend far-left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in his efforts to prosecute former President Trump.
