Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump slammed the fact-checking organization PolitiFact on Tuesday, calling the site "bad news."
PolitiFact, which has won a Pulitzer Prize for its 2008 election coverage, delved into Trump's various misstatements on Monday, when they awarded him "Lie of the Year."
"It's the trope on Trump: He's authentic, a straight-talker, less scripted than traditional politicians," PolitiFact wrote. "That's because Donald Trump doesn't let facts slow him down. Bending the truth or being unhampered by accuracy is a strategy he has followed for years."

Any time the liberal media uses the word fact, you know they’re lying.
Why is this leftie lying site given any credibility at all?
Over any utterance of Owebowma or Shrillary. Really.
When will our side stop listening to the liberal media? Even people here. Not encouraging.
Somebody should look into who financially backs these fact checkers. Would be interesting.
Politifact should give a dual award to Bill and Hillary as Liars of The Millineum. Have there ever been two bigger liars than the Clintons to ever walk the Earth?
Politifact was born out of a two bit liberal rag and reporters from Tampa. The media now uses them like Snopes (another dubious background rag from a pair of liberal instigators).
The AJC uses them, as well as CNN and they treat their ‘rulings’ like the word of God.
In reality, they are liberal as the day is long.
“He’s authentic, a straight-talker, less scripted than traditional politicians,” PolitiFact wrote. “That’s because Donald Trump doesn’t let facts slow him down. Bending the truth or being unhampered by accuracy...”
They said the same things about Reagan.
If they wanted to uncover lies, they would have to look no further than Hillary.
They list all the ones they claim are false on their website. Should be easy to prove Politifact wrong.
this is essentially the media covering the media.
or, the lying media covering the lying media.
and that is what apparently constitutes news these days.
after this article, the talking heads can use it to dismiss trump in the first half sentence of a one sentence sound bit, tailor made for today’s busy adhd millenial who has been psychologically pre-prepped to receive such propaganda.
how low the media stoops to attack trump seems amazing, but actually reveals a definite design. i think it’s much more amazing to watch trump in action wrestling with this obscene monstrosity that attempts to control the public political discourse.
he was lying...no way she was ever schlonged. take it back Donald!
Leftists lie. It’s their factory setting, their default condition.
The only time they DON’T lie, is when they state their true intentions.
Like when they wish their opponents dead.
how can they have any credibility after missing hildabeast accuse trump of being the poster boy for ISIS recruiting when in fact the featured “star” of ISIS recruiting videos is non other than slick willy hisself!
hildabest could save herself a trip to burger king with whoppers like that.
Politifact is a thoroughly discredited leftwing outfit..in 2009 they gave Governor Palin the “lie of the year” award for her claim of death panels from obamacare..guess what..they have death panels..granted they are not CALLED death panels..but boards who will dole out who gets what..
I agree 100%. The circular firing squad is getting into formation. The result of evil and stupidity.
By contrast, Hillary & Obama always tell the truth.
So the Junrolisters gave the Politifact liars an award for being the best political liars in 2008! One set of habitual liars awarded another set of habitual liars.
I caught a segment on NBC news yesterday about the Trump-Hillary video dust up. It was one part Trump vs. Hillary, and nine parts PolitiFact’s listing of Trump's “lies”.
Words fail me.
