Fucking politifact, jesus Maddow will probably club your asses again because lets be honest how the fuck is that half true. "Well using actual facts yes this is true, but since most of america believes he raised the deficit half true."
CHOKE ON GRAVY RUN OFF!
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
What I hate is that a lot of "fact checking" is just opinion pieces pretending to be objective.
one of my biggest gripes about well-respected media organizations like the AP and major newspapers is that they have this really gross attempted objectivity which they portray as actual objectivity

I mean honestly at the jump having ratings like "Mostly true, half true" when doing a fact check is retarded. Shit is either true or its not, by not just going on a black and white value of the truth you are not fact checking you are opining.

Are you referring to the "Well, this scientist who has dedicated his life to studying the subject sure has some interesting things to say on the subject, but let's hear the counterpoint from gas station attendant Billy Joe Thornberry who almost graduated high school!" type of objectivity?
And David Brooks comes awfully close to calling Obama a thug
BROOKS: And for all the talk at the end about the Philadelphia speech, the revealing moment when the Republicans applauded when he said he wasn't going to run again and he said—I forget the exact words—but like I beat you guys twice.
DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN: Won twice.
DAVID BROOKS: That was basketball court trash talk and that's also who he is. So the bipartisanship that's part of him but the trash talk, that's also part.
Trash talk my ass. If the Speaker of the House isn't going to do his damn job and maintain decorum, then don't talk shit when the President has to put the rude, out of order congress critters back in line.
I can not stand how our media pretends that Obama has not been bipartisan despite him being extremely bipartisan to the point of harming his own goals multiple times. It really just betrays the "why doesn't a democrat do exactly what the republicans want 100% of the time" talking point.

It's totally Obama trash talking the GOP. It's just Brooks is too stupid to notice that the GOP is the one that started it by applauding Obama not running for office again. He just bitch-slapped them back.

You can practically feel these guys just boiling under the surface. I wonder if they just go home and yell it over and over into their pillow or something.

There are apparently a large variety of dog-whistles available for sale.
Yeah but its still amazing. Like my super racist grandfather when he was really flustered would drop n bombs as his default even for people who weren't black. So I'm shocked at the level of restraint from blatant racists not to revert to their true selves. I mean at least packer fans got that white guy named Kuhn so they can slur with impunity when a black running back does something.
"Wooops sorry thought that was the white guy, well you know it fits."

no I'm mainly talking about how an article will be written in a just-the-facts tone and by all appearances will not have a bias but will conveniently leave stuff out or lend itself to a certain conclusion even if that's not accurate
also the very fucking gross habit of newspapers using unsigned editorials to give political arguments an air of journalistic credibility
the Seattle Times does this all the time and it's the main reason I don't subscribe to it
but yes that thing you mention is also super dumb and it's been a problem for at least as long as we've had tv news
The reason why this is in the political media thread is because it's worth pointing out that the woman who is significantly responsible for turning Disneyland into a rat's nest of disease just happens to be on the Disney payroll as one of their daytime talk show faces. In light of this, perhaps Disney might want to reconsider that arrangement.

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl will moderate a forum featuring three prominent GOP Senators on Sunday at an event hosted by a conservative political organization that has been called “the Koch Brothers’ secret bank.” While the event will be closed to media and the public — though streamed online — ThinkProgress has learned that ABC News will be paying for Karl’s travel and lodging for the Palm Springs, CA event.

Its less about that. People are free to be conservative or to moderate conservative forums. Indeed, it would be good if liberals moderated conservative forums.
The issue is that CBS is paying for his travel and lodging. Which is to say that CBS is explicitly supporting a partisan political move. CBS should not be paying the employment expenses for a political organization. Of which travel and lodging to finish a contract absolutely are.
It's ABC, but this was obvious when they hired him. The only reason you hire him is because you want conservative advocacy in your journalism, so that they would pay for his trip to go do something explicitly partisan is completely unsurprising.

Politifact rated Obama's claim that he had reduced the deficit by 2/3rds during his term as "Mostly True" because, and now I will quote:

The Politifact project was doomed from the beginning.
Jesus fucking christ seriously...
WELL IT'S ONLY TRUE IF YOU ACCOUNT FOR HIM CUTTING THE DEFICIT SINCE THE DAY HE STARTED. OTHERWISE IT'S MEH.
CHOKE ON GRAVY RUN OFF!

Now, if you take into account that he didn't cut the budget by 2/3rds from last week to this week, you can see why it's half true.
*nods nods*
*rates pants-on-fire*

they rated it "mostly true" not "half true"
still dumb, because it should just be "true"
