PolitiFact, also known as PolitiFake, is a far-left, white supremacist–defending,[1] partisan, fake news website which claims to present fact-checking on claims made by candidates in the lead up to an election. However, most of PolitiFact’s statements sound more like, or statements from, the DNC than actual fact checking. The Liberal Media calls the group a "neutral arbiter", but the facts are often skewed to a liberal's advantage. In 2010, 39% of Republican statements were "Pants on fire" or "False" compared with just 12% of Democrat statements.[2]

Questionable Results

Politifact statements are recycled by the lamestream whether truthful or not.[3] Mitt Romney calls for a Politifact correction.[4] Politifact claims there is no doubt that humans are responsible for Global Warming.[5] PolitiFact gave the biggest "lie of the year" for 2009 to Sarah Palin for saying Obamacare has death panels.[6]
According to PolitiFact, the thin blue line flag that is waved to show support for police is an "anti-Black Lives Matter flag".[7]
