    I use the two to the left, two to the right method initially in evaluating their stories. If the story is fact checking a conservative move their score two towards "true." If the story is about a Leftist, move their score two towards "false."

    So, a Right oriented story rated as "Completely false" or the like becomes "Partially true," while a Left oriented story rated "True" becomes "Partially true" in the same way.

    This becomes apparent when you read their op ed columns critically. For those they disagree with, they take anything not absolutely provable as "true" and say it is a "lie," "completely false," etc. For those they agree with they go the other direction. A complete lie is brushed off as "misspoke," or something like "there was a bit of truth in it," and the like. Much of the time this is so obvious it hurts to read it. You wonder how anyone could be that unobjective and oblivious to what they are writing about.

    When did a lawsuit constitute proof especially when it is the accused filing it? This is another right fake thread.

    WTF are you talking about?

    Don't you know that CNN had to pay Nick Sandmann millions of dollars for their mischaracterization of his encounter with Nathan Phillips?

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/01/07/nick-sandmann-cnn-confirms-settlement-covington-catholic-student/2837478001/

    Sandmann also sued NBC and the Washington Post.

    And then get proven wrong at every turn. Notice how silent Politifact was when the cancel culture mob came for Planned Parenthood's genocidal racist founder, after Politifact spent years telling us it was all just right-wing lies?

    99% true conservative stories get rated "mostly false."

    If the plaintiff has no case, defendants tell them to piss off. Need any other common sense realities of adulthood spelled out for you?

    Fox has never learned...they sued and are allowed the right to lie! It’s why people are foolish if the go to cable outlets for news, it’s commentary on the news. If you view it in this respect, it is entertainment. I view cable news for entertainment, I go else where for news.

    I did, indeed.

    But they'd declared the truth "False" again" the last time I checked.

    When your partisan DNC "fact-checkers" have been caught in more lies than CNN, they cease to be fact-checkers. They become universally recognized as desperate attempts by those who cannot defend their bullshit to dress up their falsehoods with masks of authority.

    Old habits are hard to break. Who knew the South really would rise again, just on the crybaby Left Coast?

    Sorest. Losers. Of. All. Time.
