Interesting, since the left leaning, very left leaning, politifact rated Obama's lie number one does that mean you do not trust a word that is uttered by him? If so then you are one of the smart ones on the left.
"...the left leaning, very left leaning, politifact..."
I have to compliment you, willy.....very few are aware of that!
The site that gave a mostly true statement by Obama lie of the year is left leaning?
You're retarded.
While I never use the pejorative term that you used, I have found that it usually applies to those using it.
Now, then....let's continue with our daily pattern, where you help prove that I am never......never.....wrong.
"Now comes a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats. "PolitiFact.com has rated Republican claims as false three times as often as Democratic claims during President Obama's second term," the Center said in a release, "despite controversies over Obama administration statements on Benghazi, the IRS and the AP."
The fact that, as the Lichter study shows, "A majority of Democratic statements (54 percent) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18 percent of Republican statements," probably has more to do with how the statements were picked and the subjective bias of the fact checker involved than anything remotely empirical. Likewise, the fact that "a majority of Republican statements (52 percent) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24 percent of Democratic statements" probably has more to do with spinning stories than it does with evaluating statements.
There is a "truth gap" in Washington, but it doesn't exist along the lines the fact checkers would have you think. It was Obama who said you could keep the health care you had if you liked it, even if Obamacare became law. It was Obama who said the Citizens United decision would open the floodgates of foreign money into U.S. campaigns. It was Obama who said Benghazi happened because of a YouTube video. It was Obama's IRS that denied conservative political groups had been singled out for special scrutiny. And it was Obama who promised that taxes would not go up for any American making less than $250,000 per year.
All of these statements and plenty more are demonstrably false..."
Who’s Checking the Fact Checkers?
Having served your purpose, you may now retreat back under your rock.
Nothing you posted proves bias, or even makes a good case for it.
Comically, your examples support Politifact as NON-BIASED:
1. Obama you can keep insurance - politifact ruled it pants on fire lie
2. Obama Citizens United - politifact ruled it mostly false
Where did Politifact give Obama a true rating where it should have been false?
And btw, where's your proof that the Peter King lie I posted from politifact was actually the truth. You seemed to have scrupulously dodged that challenge.
WHAT???
You don't have enough egg on your kisser???
OK.
"On a national level, most people now know PolitiFact is nothing but another Obama-shilling mainstream media joke -- an entity so in the tank for the White House it ruled as mostly true that "Barack Obama has lowest spending record of any recent president:"
sing inflation-adjusted dollars, Obama had the second-lowest increase -- in fact, he actually presided over a decrease once inflation is taken into account.
Yes, you read that correctly. According to PolitiFact, when indexed for inflation, Obamareducedspending.
PolitiFact's motto appears to be:The bigger the lie the more people will believe it.Hm.Sounds familiar. But how else can you palace guard for a failed president?
But PolitiFact isn't just a national cancer on all of us. This reprehensible outfit also "fact-checks" in a number of individual states, including the crucial swing states of Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, and Virginia."
VA Pushes Back Against PolitiFact, Shows Other States the Way - Breitbart
LOLOL, the objection from the propagandist at Breitbart is that FY2009 got assigned to Bush. Laughable. FY2009 started in October 2008.
