PolitiFact finds DeSantis was right, drops fact-check

 Don Surber: PolitiFact finds DeSantis was right, drops fact-check  

"PolitiFact is a Marxist propaganda machine that lives off tax-free donations as if it were the Little Sisters of the Poor or some other worthy charity.

"My problem with PolitFact is that its propaganda is so blatant -- so obvious -- so phony. They rub their lies in our faces.

"And yes it lied in 2008 to get Obama elected president. For that it received a Pulitzer. Among other things, PolitiFact vouched for Obama's Big Lie that you could keep your doctor. PolitiFact said that was 100% true.

"Only after Obama was elected, Obamacare signed into law, and Obama re-elected did PolitiFact admit he lied.

"It falsely called it the Lie of the Year in 2013. Wrong year. Obama told that lie repeatedly in 2008, not 2013.

"For 6 years now, PolitiFact has distorted, mangled and twisted Trump's words. This year, PolitiFact has focused like a laser on DeSantis.". . .

This gives rise to some parody from Babylon Bee:

Snopes Publishes Fact-Check On Whether Snopes Plagiarized But Oh No! The Whole Article Seems To Have Been Stolen From PolitiFact | The Babylon Bee  


"Snopes has finally fact-checked the accusation that Snopes co-founder David Mikkelson plagiarized over 50 articles, finding the claim a "mixture" and saying that it is "lacking important context."

"But oops! It looks like the Snopes fact-check on whether Snopes fact-checks are stolen was stolen entirely from PolitiFact! Oh no! It appears the article was copied word for word from competing fact-checker PolitiFact, causing more problems for Snopes.. . ."
