The equally partisan PolitiFact basically has veto power over what content a site, particularly a conservative one such as ours, can … By way of example, Politifact has fact checked an opinion by Ted Cruz and another opinion by Erick Erickson and a financial statement…

 Just a few days ago, I wrote about an absurd “fact check” done by the geniuses at Politifact on Joe Biden … Biden’s claim should have been rated “pants on fire” false because Trump had done both, but it was only given a “mostly false” by Politifact … Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren about the death of Michael Brown)
