NRA Caught in Another Lie

Indeed.



Seems it's also time to 'out' PolitiFact, Snopes, and all other so called 'fact checkers' for their lying left wing bias.

Sure if you trust The Daily Caller. I don't like "news sources" that routinely use inflammatory language to stir up their readers. The Daily Caller is just mad because Snopes calls them out. They can hardly be unbiased on the subject.

This thread is hilarious. Of course they are involved, as are numerous anti-gun organizations who have been caught on audio coordinating this whole thing, then to step back and insist "but this is a student march". :lamo

This is a coordinated action by the same impotent anti-gun factions that have always been there. This time they are using teenagers as their vessel...but its no different.

If they've been caught, post it.

Just saying that Politifact got it wrong. The Women's March co-opted the students soon after the shooting. Not sure why Politifact feels the need to lie -- but, I guess we can add them to the "fake news" list, which is growing longer by the day.

What Politifact does routinely is to first decide what claim they want to call a lie, and second they configure the claim using their own wording in such a way that they can arguably present it as a lie.
Your post in #10 and mine in #7 was quite easy to find if anyone was actually interested ... actually it should have been done before anyone started a thread like this.
It's been known since soon after the shooting that these protests have had a lot of assistance to get started and keep going.

No, that is the NRA.

OMG, someone in a private organization, that you dislike, told a whopper! That must mean that whatever BS another private group, that you do like, says is true. Many TV reports described this gun control march as a student run, grassroots affair. Not so oddly, Politifact issued no "pants on fire" rulings on those whoppers.

The NRA may be a 'private organisation' but it wields immense political power and, therefore, warrants careful scrutiny.

Of course they're skeered. Why else would the NRA resort to using easily debunked lies?

So you just wish to ignore other instances where these allegedly 'fact checking' sites have leftist bias. Fine. I don't care if you do.

Is there a fact checking site that is unbiased in your opinion?

Overly broad brush because it suits your narrative?

I saw posted that one person said one thing, and you apply it to all of the NRA and all of their members. Yeah, that'd be an overly broad brush.

Probably not. So it's back to gathering a number of them and averaging them out.

It used to be that they weren't overtly biased, but that seems to have gone to the way side.

Yes. Everything has a liberal bias. We control everything from our underground lair inside a dormant volcano
