Re: Pelosi: Congressional pay cut undermines dignity of the job
Typical Progressive. "I want"
Danbury, Danbury.
I can't state the facts any better than I have. Factcheck.org is owned and operated by Annenberg, one of the most biased political agenda driven organizations operating in the United States today. It ranks with, and partners with the Tides foundation, Ford Foundation, the Democracy Alliance, etc., etc.. You know this to be an absolute fact.
Your attempt to deny this is really rather interesting.
The fact is factcheckers are biased. How many articles have been written about this fact?
Should I post a link to one?
Okay, first of all, Ocean, I'm going to be very magnanimous here and suggest that, if you are going to use something as a source, you READ it first, and read it from beginning to end.
Your "source" that you claim is "evidence" that factcheck.org and Annenberg specifically (it isn't, btw) lack credibility AND are liberally biased, specifically states, and I quote, "
Not all questionable fact-checks are slanted left. Factcheck.org brands as a falsehood the Obama camp's claim that the Republican Party platform would ban abortion even in cases of rape and incest; the platform simply doesn't mention these exemptions. Yet, since it states that "the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life," is it illogical to conclude that this right would apply to unborn children conceived through rape?"
Okay? So YOUR source to "prove" Factcheck is liberally biased and lacking in credibility actually says it is the opposite, NOT slanted left.
Second, your article is a general COMMENTARY about fact checking. It is NOT a journalistic, researched article on Annenberg and factcheck.org which presents findings as to their being not only liberally biased but lacking in credibility and EVIDENCE to those conclusions. Your article is like me saying that, say, FOX has no credibility because it's run by Roger Ailes, a known conservative, and then putting up as a source of proof of my claim a commentary by one person who is arguing that the news media AS A WHOLE CAN have problems of credibility (and then going on to specifically state that FOX is NOT right-wing biased. I would NOT use that as a source to buttress a claim of mine saying FOX has a conservative bias.).
Okay? So what I"m looking for from you are EXAMPLES of discredited information put out by Factcheck and Annenberg ALONG with documentation as to WHY it is not credible. Saying "George Soros" is NOT evidence of anything.
Okay? Can you do that?
Tip: this time, don't put up a source that directly refutes your claim. And are you now going to say your source is not a good source and is biased liberally because it says that Factcheck is NOT slanted left?
Quite a pickle you're in. I"m sure you can get out of it by saying something like, "Oh Danbury, you are just so crazy!"
that should do it!
