You would do better fact checking Politifact.

I don't think so. They get it wrong sometimes but when you combine them with other fact checkers a story about any given topic emerges. The key is a variety of sources. In my experience what Politifact writes is generally accurate and supported by other sources.

Their degree of accuracy is not sufficient to call them reliable.

We disagree. So be it.
