How exquisitely sensitive can PolitiFact be? On Thursday, “fact checker” Samantha Putterman slammed the Republican National Committee as “False” for leaving out ONE word of a Biden quote about the children belonging to teachers as “missing context.” The subhead of the piece was ” RNC tweets distortion of what Biden said to teachers about kids in their classrooms. ”
It was a White House event for “Teachers of the Year.” Biden to teachers: “They’re not somebody else’s children.

But the PolitiFlacks don’t like Republican context, which they imagine is about “ignoring parents’ wishes.” The missing word makes it a Lie!
They’re also ridiculous when they evaluate what Biden said. After we pointed out they bizarrely tried to claim Biden didn’t […]
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
