Running The Data On PolitiFact Shows Bias Against Conservatives

Running The Data On PolitiFact Shows Bias Against Conservatives
If we're going to use Politifact as a truth guide for politicians, they need to pick the mote out of their own eye first and look at their biases. "“Mostly False” is PolitiFact’s most frequent rating for Republicans who aren’t named Trump (more on that in the next piece). PolitiFact often rates statements that are largely true but come from a GOP sources as “mostly false” by focusing on sentence alterations, simple mis-statements, fact-checking the wrong fact, and even taking a statement, rewording it, and fact-checking the re-worded statement instead of the original quoted statement"
