Oh boy. NBC is joining up with PolitiFact. Chuck says to have a third party help out with their facts. I guess that is the official admittance they can’t do any fact checking on their own. Groan.

Apparently they didn’t ask Rachel Maddow what she thought of the idea:

“This is why the very important concept of fact-checking has become pointless at a time in our country when we really need it to mean something,” Maddow said. “Because Politifact exists and has branded themselves as the generic arbiter of fact, and the paragon of fact-checking, and they are terrible at it! They are terrible!”
