More examples of the inconsistency of fact checkers. This uses two examples with Democrats where the results of mostly true and false make no sense.

Article makes a key point. Its NOT a fact check if you are evaluating opinions. Its simply another opinion piece.

This exemplifies why I place little reliance on so-called "fact" checkers.

Pretty good gig you righties have going. Anything critical of Trump is "fake news" and everything supportive is to be trusted. These lying Democrat fact checkers.............. they are all over! Now let me get back to that Daily Caller website!!

The Daily Caller is strongly slanted. But that doesn't mean Politifact isn't.

Snopes is another one.

They should have stuck with UFO's, Bigfoot, and D.B. Cooper. The minute they waded into politics, they were exposed.

They were being funded by lfet wingers, which is why they protected stories that were damaging to the left wing ideologies by either incorrectly caliming them to be false, or creating a straw man argument and claiming the straw man was false.

I agree 100%.

So once again, you don't even read the article or the post before responding. That's kind of what a Russian troll would do.

Both examples were Democrats as I stated.

Politifact is mostly false, again.

Just curious... are you stating as a matter of fact that no fact-checking source has ever made an error?

I posted this one from Snopes a week or so ago. Even after verifying the story was true, they managed a "mostly false".

That one's a classic.

CLAIM
Sexuality educator Deanne Carson said parents should ask a baby's permission before changing their diaper.

WHAT'S TRUE
Sexuality educator Deanne Carson said parents could ask children if it is okay to change their diapers to teach them "their response matters," noting that it is not actually possible for babies to consent to a diaper change

summary - claim = ask permission - what's true - ask baby if it's ok - the verdict by SNOPES....

mostly false.

Most epic post in the history of NCAABBS/CSNBBS.......

The only universal truth comes from Donald Trump’s twitter account.
