I was reading PolitiFact's recent destruction of Michelle Bachmann http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/jun/16/fact-checking-michele-bachmann/ and it got me to wondering what opinion most on here have of that site, which claims to be non-partisan.

Thoughts?

Politically neutral and reliable source. I've been reading them for years, click on Pundits and get all the dirt, even John Stewart gets nailed when he lies. PF has been trusted so much that local metro papers now use the truth lie meter. They nailed him for lying about FOX. I like Stewart but he's biased like the rest of them. Chris Wallace was a wus not to stand up to Stewart, he should of known the fact that FOX viewers are on average with other media outlets.

Look at Obama's file, he lies more often than not. We knew this already. Give PF a TV channel and watch libs meltdown calling them FauxFacts, lol.

good info juggs, you seem like a conservative so if you think it's impartial that's good. i know of some libs who also say it's impartial. tough to please both sides these days...if they are doing so then they must be doing something right.

a PF channel would be awesome...wish people would be more into watching the fact rather than the MSNBC/FOX spin.
