Why you should double check Politifact.org's Statements about Iranian deal...

[healthmyths]

First understand Politifact.org is owned by the Poynter Institute a non-profit that also owns the Tampa Bay Times (formerly St. petersburg times) and to knowledgeable people also known as "West Pravda" as it is
extremely liberal/democrat bias.
Here is a perfect compendium of how biased Politifact is from an acknowledged biased source!

So here is a perfect example of Politifact's bias...
PolitiFact Sheet: 6 things to know about the Iran nuclear deal

The Iran deal "violates promises the president made to the American people," said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. "It is not an anytime, anywhere inspection process."

Politifact.org rating:

We rated that claim Half True. Rubio has a point when he says the deal doesn’t include "anytime, anywhere" inspections, but that was not the administration’s goal, experts said. The White House typically characterizes the inspection as "very intrusive" — strong by historical standards and enough to block Iran’s path to a bomb.

BUT here is what the President said:
Inspectors will also be able to access any suspicious location. Put simply, the organization responsible for the inspections, the IAEA, will have access where necessary, when necessary," the president said.
Obama says inspectors get access to "any" site in Iran. Is it true? - CBS News

Breaking down Obama's words:
Rubio said "Obama promised"...what Obama said: "Inspectors "WILL".. be ...
Rubio said "anytime, anywhere"...what Obama said: "access where necessary, when necessary"...
Both of the Obama statements use different words BUT HAVE THE SAME MEANING!!!!

So when you consider this simple little error and compound it with Politifact's KNOWN liberal/Obama supporting bias... take everything Politifact states with skepticism!

Again... FACTS support the statement you can't trust Politifact.org with any opinion!

PolitiFact bias: Does the GOP tell nine times more lies than left? Really?
PolitiFact is not that honest fact-checker. And these aren’t isolated cases. Once widely regarded as a unique, rigorous and reasonably independent investigator of political claims, PolitiFact now declares conservatives wrong three times more often than liberals. More pointedly, the journalism organization concludes that conservatives have flat out lied nine times more often than liberals.

You could argue — as Mooney, Krider, Paul Krugman and others do — that PolitiFact is right: conservatives are simply stupid or prodigious liars. Or you could do what we have done: dig into PolitiFact’s strained analyses one at a time. That doesn’t illuminate the origins of the bias, but it sure reveals the mechanism by which the left-leaning organization transforms true into false and false into true.
By one count, from the end of that partnership to the end of 2011, the national PolitiFact operation has issued 119 Pants on Fire ratings for Republican or conservative claims, and only 13 for liberal or Democratic claims.

As the journalists there are more pundits than fact-checkers, their rulings tell you more about their political opinions than Republican accuracy.

We believe, as do our friends at FactCheck.org and the Washington Post Fact Checker, that Romney has seriously distorted Obama’s comments,” PolitiFact’s Louis Jacobson wrote.

Earlier this year, PolitiFact’s Louis Jacobson asked several experts whether Mitt Romney was right to say, “Our navy is smaller than it’s been since 1917. Our air force is smaller and older than any time since 1947.”
Two of them – Tom Bruscino, an assistant professor of history at the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies, and Ted Bromund, a foreign affairs and security research at the Heritage Foundation – told him Romney was accurate.

Jacobson conceded that Romney’s claim was accurate, but still gave him a Pants on Fire, because his accurate claim was “meaningless,” “glib,” “preposterous,” and “ridiculous.”

PolitiFact has lost sight of what is known to be fact. It’s even forgotten what the word means: “an event or thing known to have happened or existed.”
It comes from the Latin factum, “a thing done or performed,” and in most of the Romance languages, the word for “fact” and “done” remains identical. Facts are in the realm of the past, of things already done. They don’t change. They’re concrete.

Yet PolitiFact is forever peering into the future, citing 10-year budget projections and expert predictions. But the future is not a thing done; it is multifarious and infinite. The past is a yes-or-no question.

As Clive Crook put it: “Once you can’t say true or false, opinion enters in.”

Truth-O-Meters enter in.
