However, the article claims that Obama's comments about Citizens United, and Obamacare are false, but claimed as true by some; those statements were rated as false by Politifact, so who is this "some" and how are they relevant to an article about Politifact? Those "some" people can just look to Politifact to see that those comments are false.

"In this and future reports, CMPA does not evaluate the ratings given by the fact-checkers. We simply aggregate ratings provided by the fact-checkers themselves. The findings provide an overview of how individuals, groups, political parties, etc. are portrayed in this increasingly important genre of political journalism."

Oddly, the study itself is missing from CPMA's site.

Making something bigger than it is and ignoring things from those that are support sure is.
It's dishonest to claim otherwise.

Facts have a anti-Trump bias.

Maybe it is both. Facts do seem to have an anti-trump bias, and a liberal dose of reality in the trump world seems like a good idea.

The media that pushes up Clinton has an agenda. They are bought as well as Hillary.. They are owned by big business . The polls are rigged also. Offsetting in the favor of Hillary so the can try to diminish Trump's appeal. We see through it and know they are all corrupt as well.

The ruling class wants to keep their power and are scared to death that Trump will actually pass that power to WE THE PEOPLE. .
