Any reasonable person, within the context of the claim can see that their skewed perspective frames false narratives to fit a ideological agenda.

But hey, google is your friend, so look up who owns them, and how liberal or conservative their ownership is.
But wait, maybe if you were fed so called "checked facts" from a hard right source, you'd just accept it, right?
I mean if a source called Fact check USA was owned by a company that never once in the last 60 years, endorsed a single Democrat for president, you'd feel totally fine with their impartiality, right?

Well guess what, Politifact is owned by the TBT's, and they have not endorsed a single (R) for president in 60+ years.
That is right, they have endorsed historic losers like MsGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, etc., with out a single exception, but I'm sure that means nothing to you. But if the shoe were on the other foot, rest assured you would feel differently if the "factcheckers" were owned by a conservative media source.
And go ahead and show specific examples of their flawed analyses.


And I would accept fact checking from other sources, why do you assume I wouldn't?

PolitiFact utilizes Confirmation Bias.
Feel free to discredit their analyses.

And feel free to share these fact checking sites that you deem "credible".
