Sean W. Malone shared some thoughts about PolitiFact's nonpartisanship at his blog, Logicology:
Sometimes, I feel compelled to compile a list of my own "Iron Lawz" of politics and maybe of reality in general. If I did, one of them would be as follows:Malone sees PolitiFact's 2010 "Lie of the Year" as a great example of partisan fact-checking. By all means, follow the link and read it all.
Any time an organization must be cited as "non-partisan", it probably isn't.I bring this up because of a post I read recently calling the website PolitiFact a "non-partisan" source for analysis about political decisions. But this is, itself, pretty misleading.
