A fact checker looked into 158 things Donald Trump said. 78 percent were false.
Liar, liar…. Pants on fire……. If Trump opens his mouth, chances are 78% of the time it is a lie
PolitiFact, the nonpartisan fact-checking outlet based in Florida, is out today with its mid-year report on the 2016 election. It's an attempt to take a step back from the day-to-day grind of the campaign and see which candidates are telling the truth and which aren't.
Donald Trump isn't.
Of the 158 Trump claims that PolitiFact has checked out, 95 have been rated either "False" or "Pants on Fire." That's 60 percent of all Trump claims. As PolitiFact notes, if you include the Trump statements rated "mostly false" in that group, 78 percent of all of Trump's fact-checked claims have been scored "mostly false" or worse.
That's not even the most amazing fact in the PolitiFact report. That honor goes to this: "Trump has more statements rated Pants on Fire, 30, than the 21 other candidates for president we’ve fact-checked this cycle combined……….

But wait - don't you know that Politifact (and pretty much all other fact-checking sites) have a strong liberal bias? How could they not, since reality itself has a liberal bias?
Biased you say..........
Please give a few examples from the PolitiFact list of Trump's statements which have been altered, spun, or untrue ...........
Four of five should do to prove their bias
Sarcasm, Yoda. It was sarcasm.
Well I sure as hell could not see the sarcasm.......
But thanks for the heads-up.........
It always helps to check their lean. No progressive is going to bitch about liberal bias unironically.
Now would you like to tell us all what you mean

I thought insanity was a legitimate defense in a courtroom.
You could never convict him.
Once again, our political parties have produced candidates that nobody would lend money to or hire as a baby sitter.
Crooked Hillary and Crazy Donald...
I'm surprised that the Donald got that high on the truth-o-meter.
Between the two of them, if you can find even one statement that is completely true and free of agenda driven motivation, I would find it to be very surprising.
If either one of them told me their name, I'd ask to see some ID.
You mean to say that he's only about 15% lower than Hillary?
Politifact is a creation of the Tampa Bay Times. The TBT is published by the Poynter Institute. The Poynter Institute is affiliated with a who who list of Progressive Machine members.
New Fact-Checking Network Funded by Liberal Snowden Supporter
Tides Foundation
Open Society Institute - George Soro's -
Over 30 Major News Organizations Linked to George Soros | Media Research Center
Knight Foundation
Democracy Alliance
And the list goes on and on.
PolitiFact Bias
Politifact is part of the Progressive Machines strategy of disinformation hidden by the appearance of objective analysis. It's the reason the Machine has spent $100's of millions to create important sounding organizations like The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities. It's a shame and a massive propaganda effort supported by big labor and other ideologically driven organizations.

IMO, most Trump supporters don't care. So desperate for a change in the status quo, they are willing to get on any bandwagon that has a chance of defeating it.

Have you bothered to read the item you claim justifies/confirms/proves PolitiFact has liberal bias.........IMO the good fellow who put this site together seems to be a biased RW extremist or someone in need of some sort of mental health intervention..........and is someone best described as seeing the boogieman just around the corner.......
Now you may judge my assessment as biased/harsh/overstated........
But read the few cherry-picked examples that proves PolitiFact's bias........
all are breathtakingly illogical and dishonest..........
But let's assume the 4-5 items are accurate.........
Four or five items does not make for the claim/proof of liberal bias.........
And the other example of "PolitiFact is part of the Progressive Machines strategy of disinformation" is conspiracy theory at its best.........
So lets drop the argument PolitiFact is bias and therefore all they claim is not truth BS excuse as an argument..........
And deal with each item checking if the facts used are accurate........
