Critics slammed the fact-checking website PolitiFact for a series of articles that defended Kamala Harris, Tim Ryan, Democrats' stolen election claims, and more.
'Fox & Friends Weekend' host Will Cain breaks down his interpretation of fact-checkers on 'The Faulkner Focus.'PolitiFact articles,Since October 1, PolitiFact has released four fact-checks quickly contested by critics, with some doubling-down on claims that fact-checking websites frequently act as shields for the Democratic Party, with partisan intentions.
Youngkin’s claim was rated only"half-true" and Fiske shot down the governor’s argument, writing that it was important to note that Democrats did not question the"actual counting" of ballots in 2016, or that Trump had won the election. "They routinely ‘fact check’ in bad faith, purposefully taking comments either out of context to make a point or willfully misinterpret comments so that they can rate them false. It's also about their choices on what to fact-check. They will take a meaningless comment from a Democrat to fact check so they can claim they hold both sides to account," he said.
Vance unveiled a new campaign ad last month that showed Ryan, a Democrat, telling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow,"I do love her," when asked about Pelosi, adding that he votes with her 100% of the time. PolitiFact, a product of The Poynter Institute, decided to investigate the ad and declared it was only"half true," because Ryan challenged Pelosi, D-Calif., for the minority leader position in 2016.
PolitFact’s managing editor Katie Sanders provided comment to Fox News Digital, stating that the fact-checking website stands by its reporting. PolitiFact also faced ridicule by social media users on October 5 for claiming that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was incorrect when he said that Lee County was not inside Hurricane Ian’s forecast cone. The fact-checking site deemed his statement"Mostly False" because of a single barrier island, Cayo Costa, belonging to the county inside the storm’s path. Twitter users pointed out that Cayo Costa is largely uninhabited, with fewer than 20 private residences.
