Amazing. Politifac is the most liberal biased thing in a lib paper; I get the slimes
People use PolitiFacts like they’re gods because of their Pulitizers. Cronyism! MSNBC just used them against Michele Bachmann.
Here’s the real story from Mathew Vadum...
In May 2009, PolitiFact.com rated a statement published on the website of Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann, that the organization ACORN “could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars”, as “false”, calling it “beyond preposterous” that they would receive this amount.[3] Conservative analyst Matthew Vadum, who was the original source of the assertion, defended his statement in The American Spectator, saying that he meant only that there were no legal impediments to ACORN receiving the money; he then called PolitiFact.com’s writings “political opinion masquerading as high-minded investigative journalism.”[4]
