Re: Obama's 1/2 brother Trump fan.
Reprinting a chart with the same fundamental statistical flaws doesn't help your argument.
Politifact and FactCheck both hand select the statements they want to fact-check based on their own interests and the interests of their readership who submit suggestions for statements to fact check. This subjective selection process in and of itself disqualifies the data from being used for quantitative analysis. But, to make it even less useful, the ratings given are also highly subjective opinions with the difference between True, mostly true, mostly false and false being a matter of opinion. This also, in and of itself, disqualifies the data from being used as for quantitative statistical analysis and it is largely subjective.
It is only of use as a propaganda tool for people too ignorant to understand the basics of good statistical analysis, and for exposing those are afflicted with such ignorance.
Your argument here is on the same level of inanity as those who post MSNBC and Fox News web polls as if they have any statistical value.
When the facts aren't your side...deny, deny, deny...and then deny some more.
