Holy fuck, why is that even legal?
If you want to chop of your dick, thats fine, but at least wait until you are a fucking adult

The politifact team is 50% jewish

Yes it is

I remember them being pretty objective back in like 2010, what happened?

Biggest lie for 2012 was mitts claim about Chrysler manufacturing jeeps in China.
Last year they started manufacturing Jeep Cherokee in China for the Asian market.

Why do libshits love """fact""" checking sites?

Entirely

Because they have the right "facts".

You died in the old reality user, that's why you're here. Maybe this new one is valhalla and we are here to be meme warriors until ragnarok

Go to their site. It's there.
If it were a lefty made trumps claim it'd be rated true.

/thread

Why do you have to lie to me Cred Forums?

Mfw

because they're intellectually lazy

more?

What the fuck am i reading

It's run by people so obviously it's biased.

I would be fine if they presented themselves as opinion articles, but they just thrive off giant circlejerks on plebbit and try to pass themselves off as a neutral authority on the facts, when they are anything but.

fact-checking politifact

>(((people)))

>half true

propaganda

it's been purchased by Democratic activists, a few of the popular fact-check sites were. It's part of their propaganda model, they sell things with appeals to authority. Despite leftists having the "anti-authority" stereotype, they actually score far higher on love of authority than right-wingers.

You probably were left leaning like I was at that time.
When your on their team it makes sense but when you retire from the team and watch from the stands you start seeing how they're cheating.

>Failing to mention cause makes him a liar
>Transgender girls aren't boys
>The numbers are valid, comparison is what makes it a lie

I'm done. Can canada please get rid of Trudeau? I need to move.

they won journalism awards, then got purchased by democratic activists. No one made a big deal about it, so everyone assumes the original ownership and rules still apply.

I know one thing that never dies...the memes of a man's life

Because they need somebody to do the thinking for them.

lol they have nothing to refernce because Obama has ordered border agents to stop counting.

REMEMBER THE FOLLOWCAUST

NEVER FORGET THE 6 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS

I'll never understand why driving and driving has age restrictions, but "choosing" your gender doesn't.

A 90% tax rate would probably be fine if the money wasn't fucking squandered at almost every possible opportunity.

these have to be edited

They are controlled media like these guys.

>I'll never understand why driving and driving has age restrictions, but "choosing" your gender doesn't.
It would be transphobic to have such a restriction. You don't want to be a racist, do you?

testbumptest

Holy shit I love Ted Cruz now.

Seriously how can politihack justify that? He obviously was referring to transfags so even if you buy into the progressive narrative on them it should have been half-true at the very least.

Was never bought out. Was started by and has been ran by Times Publishing Company. A left leaning newspaper company out of Florida.
The site has always favored the left. I just imagine the staff changed over time to make it to where the bias isn't even subtle any more.

Yes I hate calling them people too but it's the civilised thing to do.

>Despite leftists having the "anti-authority" stereotype, they actually score far higher on love of authority than right-wingers.
I know that one.
Back then questioning authority was the left thing to do. Now they are the authority, and they're even worse than the people they used to rally against.

>mfw "people" use politifact and snopes as references on kikebook

People often post those political compasses where you see the option of a left-liberal in the bottom left.

It's looking like that option's an oxymoron.

It's owned by the Tampa Bay Times who have endorsed Hillary, so yeah it's fucking 100% DNC garbage.

Bunch of women and kikes. Who woulda thunk they lean to the left...

*ahem*

Well fuck

First Trump one is fake. Pic related is the real one. What they did do that was very dishonest however is put the headline as
>Trump's Pants on Fire tweet that blacks killed 81% of white homicide victims
Which is dishonest because the image he tweeted out that was just one of the several stats. The really big stat in red letters said 97% of black murders are by other blacks which was the only stat that was mostly right

Seriously Cred Forums there is enough bullshit from politihack that we really don't need to lie to prove they are full of shit.

To be fair she's talking about the siege not the aftermath. When is the quote from? Could be before 9/11 2012. But I agree politiFact is a biased site run by liberals.

Forgot the pic

Honestly believe that I've died twice. 08 is one of them. Why I remember my parents talking about Mandela death in the 90s when I died first in 96.

shops ITT or not just visited politifact and that site is the most biased shit ever. Not even a trump shill but this is just enraging

>pic related

love how they take the second half of the quote and make the whole statement true """""subtly""""" implying Trump Management is being racist is also proven

I hope you realize they can change it anytime, they probably do once they realize they're causing a shitstorm.

I'm a little convinced that we might be in hell user.

lol it was from a few weeks ago

Look at again.

It's definitely shopped. It says that the numbers are true which is not true at all. So there would have been no point in time when politihack claimed the numbers were true because they aren't. All the numbers were fake except for the black on black crime one which was fake but only off by 7% which desu is still pretty big of a difference.

Blacks commit crimes because people are scared of blacks because blacks commit crimes because people are scared of blacks because blacks commit crimes because people are scared of blacks because blacks commit crimes because people are scared of blacks because blacks commit crimes because people are scared of blacks…

Second to last one is a bit of a stretch, as is the one about interracial crime, but yeah, politifact needs to get their shit together.

politifact.com/personalities/newt-gingrich/statements/

Nope it's real. The thing is they're not wrong but politihack never extends any charity to republicans and extends tones to democrats. Yes he was factually wrong to say every single major city but he was obviously being overenthusiastic and 3/20 is at worst mostly true.

96 I got stabbed by a nigger for my bike. Remember getting hit in the leg looking down and saw blood. Then my brother standing over me and my brother putting bandaids over the cut. Never went to doctor for it and the scar is about the size of my thumb.
Second time I had been reading Tucker max and saw his story where he got a breathalyzer. Talked my sister into getting me one. Gave her about 50 bucks to buy alcohol. Two of my friends and I took shot after shot going until I remember one tapped at .2. The other was at .43 and I was at .4. I took three shots and woke up the next morning fine. I did a bac online and it said I would have been roughly at .46 and dead.

>mfw I had a discussion with some guy who seriously quoted PolitFact a while ago

I never thought anyone actually took them serious.

MSM?

Yeah then that is "lying" by omission I'd say.

Main Stream Media

>Hillary starts the birther movement
>Demands that Trump apologizes

So they don't have to use their brain.
That's literally all there is to it, they want all their talking points nicely compiled from a single source without having to put any effort into it.
It's why they back shit like Apps that provide them with counter arguments to conservative talking points.

>"I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed

In previous reality I probably died on impact or bleed out unconcious on the slope. Hello friends from our original reality.

The person who made the image is obviously exposing the website's bias and downright lies.

Are you checking the national numbers or San Francisco ones? The pic he tweeted was about San Francisco.

It says pants on fire you faggot. check it

kys

Yes it does and it's correct to say pants on fire the stats are totally wrong. The "Crime Statistics Bureau" doesn't exist.

politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/?page=15


The part that is shopped is the summery which says "Number is correct, but fails to mention the cause (poverty, anti-black racism)" what the summery actually says is "totally wrong stats" which is true. The stats are wrong and the source is fake. Politihack is generally full of shit, however this is one case were they are only a little dishonest.
