Fact-checking fact-checkers

PolitiFact supported President Biden as "Mostly True" on Friday for his comments at a "Pride" celebration at the White House on June 10. Pushing the so-called "Equality Act," Biden said "When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, something is still very wrong in America,"

On June 9, the intrepid fact-checkers at Snopes decided that the anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is not a hate group. Why? Because they themselves say so and the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center does not list them as such.

PolitiFact has shown no hesitation when it comes to rating conservative claims about Target false, but when it came to a recent true claim from The Daily Wire and Fox News, about Target funding GLSEN, an activist group that favors concealing child transitions from parents, author Madison Czopek declined to give them a true rating on Wednesday, likely because PolitiFact believes such…

For the leftists on Twitter, the most "notorious" moment of Nikki Haley's CNN town hall with Jake Tapper was her assertion that biological boys in the locker room were spurring suicidal thoughts among girls. Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler then followed quickly behind and threw Four Pinocchios -- "Pants on Fire" Lie! -- at Haley for daring to say such a thing. 

After launching his presidential campaign on Twitter Spaces, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was condemned by PolitiFact for his assertion that Florida has not banned any books. That summary did not give DeSantis a rating for his claims, but on Wednesday PolitiFact returned to the claim and rated it “false.” Yet, the article itself suggests that a “false” rating is overzealous and is ultimately…

CNN Chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans criticized Republicans for the amount of money the potential budget deal allotted to the IRS on Tuesday. The proposed plan included $60 billion for the IRS as opposed to the $80 billion that Democrats favored. Romans portrayed Republicans as opposed to the public good because they didn’t want to increase the bureaucracy’s budget. She failed to…

How many PolitiFact fact-checkers does it take to fact-check a presidential announcement? Apparently four, as that is how many reporters it took to assess seven statements from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Wednesday campaign launch on Twitter Spaces.

PolitiFact’s Grace Abels asked on Monday if gender dysphoria is a mental disorder and while she never actually answered the question, Abels was sure of one thing: conservatives are wrong.

PolitiFact has a bad left-wing tilt. Since becoming vice president, Kamala Harris has only six "fact checks," and four of them were rated "Mostly True." In that time frame, former Vice President Mike Pence also has six checks, and none of them were "True" or "Mostly True." It only gets worse the more you look into it.

Washington correspondent Sunlen Serfaty joined Thursday’s CNN This Morning to fact-check some of the claims former President Donald Trump made on Wednesday night’s town hall including the claim that Hillary Clinton supports late third trimester abortions. Serfaty would defend Clinton against the charge, but she did not accurately portray Clinton’s beliefs.

Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler decided to award a "Bottomless Pinocchio" to Joe Biden for lying repeatedly about how he's dramatically reducing the deficit. Kessler defines his "bottomless" rating by a politician repeating a false claim more than 20 times.

The “Fact Check” squad at the Associated Press is still working overtime to defend the Libertine Left as it crusades against the right of parents to have a say in their children’s so-called “gender affirming care.” Democrats call it "life-saving care."

CNN hasn't moved to the center or turned to telling the news straight since CEO Chris Licht came aboard. One of the many ways to prove the ongoing slant is CNN’s chief “Fact Checker,” Daniel Dale. He and CNN remain obsessed with decrying his "slew of lies."

In Canada, freedom of speech might be curtailed again to please the “marginalized.” You might think the journalists would be offended by free speech being banned in certain “zones,” but not when it’s a zone around a drag show.
