I think that they are bias. Even more now then before. I had such high hopes for them, but they don't seem interested in tackling the tough issues. For example, today they have listed that Obama has directed the military leaders to cease the war in Iraq, but there has been no huge troop withdraw. How can that be a promise kept if there has been no real action?
Also, the comments for which they test Obama on the truth-o-meter aren't really that hard hitting. For example, "Will you be able to keep your current health care?" is rated at half truth. The better questions would be "Are you interested in the public plan taking over the private industry?", "Will Government workers be required to take the public option?", or "Will politicians (Senate and House) take the public option?"
They aren't that hard on him, but they fry others...
Good point. It is a shame though, because the idea of "just the facts please" would be really refreshing for any political site.I don't know anything about PolitiFact, but I believe that absolutely everything written by humans is biased in some way or another.
I was wondering what you guys here thought of PolitiFact. I think they're pretty much the best source for facts and exposed myths on each candidate. Your thoughts?

Biased because ... everything is biased.
