With "PolitiFiction" the Review's editors bring a very important message to readers as we enter convention week for the GOP:
The website PolitiFact is going to be truth-squadding the Republican convention speakers this week, delivering verdicts on which claims are “mostly true” and which deserve a “pants on fire” rating. Our advice: Pay no attention to those ratings. PolitiFact can’t be trusted to get the story right.The editorial goes on to illustrate its point by describing a number of instances where PolitiFact's reporting on health care issues failed to adequately inform.
The editorial is lean, hard-hitting and packs a whale of a kicker at the end.
