'factcheck.org' short on facts, but well loved by corporate stenographers.

I never liked their site. They've always tried or claimed to 'look' neutral, but the reality is, they are far from it.

Indeed, FAIR has a good take on these people.

Inside their link there's a nice gem -

The most illuminating quote, though, is from Factcheck.org‘s Brooks Jackson–who acknowledges that even if he could tell you which candidate was the more deceptive…he wouldn’t:

Even if we could come up with a scholarly and factual way to say that one candidate is being more deceptive than another, I think we probably wouldn’t just because it would look like we were endorsing the other candidate.

Exactly. Jackson’s job is not to be fair, but to look fair–and if he didn’t conclude that each side was getting a lot of stuff wrong, that wouldn’t look very fair, would it? The downside of this approach is that it makes Factcheck.org‘s whole enterprise essentially fraudulent, pretending to go through the motions of disinterested analysis in order to reach a pre-ordained conclusion. Again, this is the impression I have gotten from following Factcheck‘s work, but I didn’t expect Jackson himself to issue a confession.

No wonder they fear Bernie Sanders.
