Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren lied last weekend when they claimed Michael Brown of Ferguson, Missouri, had been “murdered” in 2014 by police officer Darren Wilson. An independent Justice Department investigation found that there was no credible evidence to support the claim that the white officer “murdered” the 18-year-old black man. Instead, the report found Wilson had acted in self-defense. Brown was killed in the violent act of assaulting a police officer. But try telling that to PolitiFact, which published an absurd, laugh-out-loud defense of the 2020 Democratic primary candidates Wednesday. Having split so many hairs in order to impugn Republicans, the fact-checker now believes that it is just too difficult to know what a person really means when they use the word “murder.”

Guess they need to change their name to Polititruth.
There are no facts at PolitiFact.
I watched a program yesterday on the Smithsonian channel. It was about Missouri.
Damned if they didn’t push the lie. This is the Smithsonian. Actually now that I think about it, just an hour or so back they showed a sub-Saharan Black as the emissary or King Harrold. Maybe it was William The Conqueror, anyway you would think they would strive for historical accuracy rather than lies.
Well, then, Antonin Scalia was also murdered. And Andrew Breitbart. And Epstein.
Typical socialists - either denying, rewriting, or destroying history.
It’s unbelievably disrespectful not to refer to him as Saint Michael. /sarc
The idiot liberals need to shut up. They either have no clue about what they are talking about. Or they are lying.
Or both.
“Guess they need to change their name to Polititruth.”
Is that because the Russians already used Pravda (Truth) and Izvestia (News)?
“....you would think they would strive for historical accuracy rather than lies.”
That won’t sell their sponsor’s crap. Sensationalism, lies that can be created, gets to the public who wants tantalizing topics. This is why they love “reality TV.”

There are lies of omission, and there are lies of commission. Warren did both in her statement. Use of the word “murder” was a lie of commission. Failure to include critical actions by Brown was a lie of omission. The fact that Politifact could find neither of these lies says more about politifact than about Warren. They obviously can’t see reality when it slaps them in the face. I obviously will commit an act of omission each time I never slect their website.
