PolitiFact advertised on its home page an article on “Fact checking” Hillary’s campaign book What Happened. Don’t be shocked: PolitiFact didn’t find anything that they would call “False,” let alone “Pants on Fire.” This isn’t that surprising, since the website has only evaluated Hillary once since last November — a “Mostly False” in a complaint about voter suppression in Wisconsin in June.
Her overall count of “Pants on Fire” rulings is only 7…compared to 69 for Donald Trump. PolitiFact started by noting that Hillary cites them in the book to defend her own honesty:
Okay, first we did what anyone did and searched for our name. We found it!I don’t think PolitiFact emphasized that when the Jill Abramsons of the world were hailing Hillary’s “fundamentally honest” nature by citing their tilted “Truth-o-Meter” ratings system.The mention of PolitiFact comes in reference to a March 2016 column by former New York Times editor Jill Abramson, who said Clinton was “fundamentally honest.” The truth is Clinton is right depending on how you calculate truth. [That’s saying a mouthful about PolitiFact.]
We fact-checked Clinton 196 times from the moment she announced her candidacy in the spring of 2015 through Election Day 2016. Of those 196 fact-checks, 100 rated True or Mostly True. That means 51 percent of Clinton claims we fact-checked were basically accurate.
Of candidates we fact-checked at least 50 times, only one did better: Sen. Bernie Sanders….Clinton, however, does better if you only count True statements that we rated.
Last point, and it’s a big one: We don’t check every statement a politician makes. So any comparison is problematic.
As usual, PolitiFact was very selective and helpful in picking out claims from the book…they skipped over Hillary suggesting the media favored Trump, for example. …

Must be a new book of the Bible then? A perfect book, who woulda thunked?
Politifact is a bunch of leftist propaganda designed to bamboozle the weak minded.
They are not fair arbiters of truth.
> PolitiFact ‘Fact Checks’ Hillary’s Book, Fails to Find a False Thing In It <
In related news, Chelsea Clinton ‘fact checks’ Hillary’s book, fails to find a false thing in it.
And they admit it, too.
Someone on TD did a reenactment of that on the one year anniversary LOL.
And 90 minutes later she is the bell of the ball. Someday, someone is going to write a tell all book about the Clinton mob.
I like the bald guy in the red tie, like he’s saying “OK OK.. here we go again”, no sign of concern, no sign of concern from anybody for that matter, nobody saying “Hillary, what’s the matter? Are you OK?” This is a regular occurrence for her, and what I think happened is she had a “freezing episode” which happens to people with Parkinsons. This isn’t a fainting spell, I know what fainting spells are like. When I was in High school I had very low blood pressure and experienced quite a few. White light, and BOOM down I would go. Not once was I able to withstand it like she is supposedly doing, it was like cutting strings from a puppet, EVERYTHING goes down. She on the other hand is quite conscious, trying to move her legs. That tells me it’s more likely she had a freezing episode. This is a guy with advanced Parkinsons and you can see the similarity with regards to the “freezing”...........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-wrNhyVTNE
Speaking of “Wha Happen?”, I just witnessed the Amazon scrubbing of almost all negative reviews for the book, and the claim that it’s the #1 Most Sold on Amazon! Bezos don’t lie. Right?
92% 5 Stars? Cankles, puhleeze...
That video was quite interesting...from being unable to walk back to normal with visual and sound cues. Does this affect thinking?
lol!
Who’s Checking the Fact Checkers?
A new study sheds some light on what facts the press most likes to check.

I’m getting kinda bored with the whole Killary thing.
Time for something more interesting. Which is everything.

Before this is over, every one of the criminals in the Demagogic Party will have to hang. Short of that, none of us will ever again be free, or secure.
Not just the Demagogic Party.
We live in a country that has a government that had some of its federal agencies building, reinforcing, aiding and directing the Central American drug cartels while that same federal declared war on drugs and Central American drug cartels.
We live in a country that has a federal government and legislators that are fully and completely of bankrupting us as a country.
The list goes on.
A good portion of all fed level employees and most of the professional political class needs to be added to that list if we, as a country and a people, really want long term survival as a viable option.
