I want to caution it's loyal users that it is a left wing site.
So it is not capable of being truthful.

The Poynter Institute for Media Studies is a nonprofit journalism institution located in St. Petersburg, Florida. It owns and controls Times Publishing Company, which publishes the Tampa Bay Times and previously published Congressional Quarterly. Poynter operates the controversial left-of-center PolitiFact fact-checking organization, which was launched by its subsidiary St. Petersburg Times in 2007. Critics have argued that Politifact’s style of “fact-checking” purports to adjudicate whether a particular statement is factually true or false but instead launders biased opinion analysis by making non-factual interpretive and judgment calls, typically in a manner favorable to liberals and Democrats and hostile to conservatives and Republicans. 1 2

The Marxists dont give a rats ass that the wolf is in the hen house when it comes to fact checking. They have been fed lies all their life, and if they ever realized that maybe the truth would set them free, then their whole life has been a lie and then they have nothing to live for. Which is why you see many these days going out by "Suicide by Cop".
