re: #2 publicityStunted

I can see what Politifact is doing - they want to appear “impartial”, so they have to plead with the magical balance fairy to conjure up examples of sneaky liberals saying things that are not quite true. Just like news shows pull up crazy unqualified ravers to “balance” the scientists’ take on global warming.

It’s sad, because today’s GOP-supporting conservatives don’t give a shit about Politifact anyway. They aren’t a far-right propaganda machine like FN, and any media outlet that doesn’t conform to this hyper-partisan view of things is “the enemy”.

So, kind of a waste of time and resources.
