Lame.


Care to take on any of the facts presented, or is this your customary drive-by?

Yes get that straight.

My source is a newspaper of record who won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for their work with Politifact.

newbusters is just a lame right wing blog that tells you what to think.

Once again for the slow readers.

PolitiFact.com was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2009 for "its fact-checking initiative during the 2008 presidential campaign that used probing reporters and the power of the World Wide Web to examine more than 750 political claims, separating rhetoric from truth to enlighten voters."[

Yes, yes, I know you dismiss any site that isn't certified left wing but read this. Refute the facts and not the messenger, if you can.

The American Spectator : PolitiFact's Fixers

"A left-wing slant seems embedded in the paper's DNA.
Former St. Petersburg Times associate editor Martin Dyckman recalled what it was like being in the newsroom in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Dyckman, who retired as associate editor in 2006, reminisced that on that terrible day he "was standing at the teletype when the first flash came in that a suspected Marxist, Lee Harvey Oswald, was being held in connection with the shooting."
He recalled that the paper's publisher, Nelson Poynter, was dejected when Dyckman relayed the report. "'Oh, no,'" Dyckman quoted the publisher saying. "'I was hoping it would be a right-winger.'""

No, no bias at all!

Oh now it's American Spectator?.....LOL...

One of the oldest right wing rags in the country....I'm detecting a pattern here....wingnuts must go to their right wing partisan sources to attack newspapers of record who win the Pulitzer prize.

Do you have any objective sources? An newspaper of record? A non partisan news watchdog?

NO YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTIVE SOURCES.

And according to the right, Faux news is fair and balanced.

LOL, Neither do you but as I suspected you aren't prepared to take on the substance so you feel the need to attack the messenger. It's OK, we all know what you are doing.

I told you exactly what you are up to.

You don't have any objective sources.

That's why you linked to a right wing partisan rag.

Deal with it.

LOL sweetie, you can't refute the facts, and prove it with each successive post. Continue to attack the messenger and not the message. It is abundantly clear you can't!

This guy takes apart the strawman politifax stood up;

PolitiFact’s biggest lie « Hot Air

Quote:
Then there are those “independent health care experts” PolitiFact consulted. One of them is “Princeton University professor Uwe Reinhardt, an expert in health care economics.” PolitiFact leaves out his $2,300 donation to Barack Obama.
and then there's Oberlander, who doesn't believe a single-payer system would be socialized HC. And then the other "expert" Maggie Mahar, who is a fellow at The Century Foundation, a liberal think tank, which of course Politifact neglects to mention.

More blather from the left-wing media, which includes politifact, which is trying their best to convince the public that they had it all wrong in their view of obamacare.
