That's what I thought--therefore I don't expect to hear a peep outta you about what Politifact (or any other media org) says, cuz it's free speech.

That goes for the rest of you cons. Either you believe in the First Amendment's guarantee of the freedom of the press or you don't.

Sometimes I'm just plain stunned at ignorance of those on the left about the Bill of Rights.

The first amendment prevents the government from regulating speech.  It doesn't keep private citizens like your's truly from being critical of others' speech.  Politifact can say whatever they want and they should expect no interference from government but when they present the facts in a misleading way I get to call them on it because I'm just a citizen.
