http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/#46157717Yesterday I posted a link to Rachel Maddow's "firing" PolitiFact over their weaseling half-lie regarding jobs created. Today it's oil exports. PolitiFact checks the President's statement that oil imports are below half of consumption, finds it to be true, and rates it as "half true".
Give 'em hell, Rachel. "Let their derision be a source of pride. Let their support be a source of anxiety."

(27,541 posts)2. PolitiFact lost me with their 2011 Lie of the Year.
"Republicans voted to end Medicare." That was the Lie of the Year according to them.
Republicans did exactly that. PolitiToadie's survey respondents chose the Republican claim that "zero jobs" were created by the economic stimulus. But the editors ignored those results in order to slur Democrats.

I haven't been able to catch her show for the past few weeks. What I'd like to know is who the hell is the financial backer for this bogus organization?
