PolitiFact Throws 'Mostly False' at Ad Exposing Dr. Oz in 2019
PolitiFact has jumped into evaluating the contentious Pennsylvania Republican primary to succeed Sen. Pat Toomey. They've haven't gone easy on the celebrity in the race, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

PolitiFact Cries LIE on Kentucky Derby 'Horse's Ass' JOKES About Biden
The Democrat "fact check" website calling itself PolitiFact is so fervently dedicated to defending President Biden that it's repeating its lame fact checks of previous Kentucky Derby jokes.

COME ON! PolitiFact Claims Biden's Invisible Handshake Was 'Gesturing'
PolitiFact acts like its role is not to check facts, but to suppress embarrassing videos of Biden and Harris.

Holy … ! Fact-Checker Censors MRCTV Over Biden Bird Poop Theory
The hypocrisy of Facebook’s fact-checking partners knows no bounds.

Biden-Loving PolitiFact Scours Conservative Sites on 'Bird Poop' Story
Even the silliest content about President Biden can be grounds for punishing conservative sites. Take the erroneous "Biden had bird poop on him" story.

Never Admit Anything
President Joe Biden says he never talked business with his son. Maybe he didn't. Maybe that Ukrainian gas company paid Hunter Biden half a million dollars because he has unique business skills that no one else noticed. It's possible. But unlikely. Now a Justice Department investigation may tell us whether Hunter is a sleazy opportunist who broke the law and whether his father knew, or even…

PolitiFact Tags 'FALSE' on Colorado Law With No Time Limit on Abortion
