Hello NK:

Let me copy one for our Fox loving friends...

So your argument is that there must be bias at PolitiFact, based on the assumption that Republicans can't possibly be lying that much more than Democrats. That's the extraordinary claim here, and it's incumbent upon you to prove it, not PolitiFact to disprove it. Unless you can come up with some damning examples of liberals' controversial statements going unchallenged or conservatives' words being twisted, I'm inclined to side with PolitiFact over you.

When PolitiFact Editor Bill Adair was on C-SPAN's Washington Journal in August of 2009, he explained how statements are picked:

"We choose to check things we are curious about. If we look at something and we think that an elected official or talk show host is wrong, then we will fact-check it."

...

In his August 2009 C-SPAN interview, Adair explained how the Pants on Fire rating was the site's most popular feature, and the rationale for its inclusion on the Truth-O-Meter scale:

"We don't take this stuff too seriously. It's politics, but it's a sport too."
