What about the other examples?

What about the point about the general tone of the ratings?

When this came up a few weeks ago, I chimed into defend politifact. After weeks of reading it, I do think they have a subtle liberal bias. Do you agree?


Edit: In any case:

[quote]It's clear that Fiorina laid off 30,000 workers as a result of ...[text shortened]... the claim that she laid off 30,000 people a fair one in a vacuum? Really. Is it a fair claim?
As politifact points out the bulk of the jobs regained occured during the seven months after she was pushed out. I think it's fair to conclude that 'Half True' may have been a more accurate rating. I also see examples where I feel they were too easy on Republicans or too harsh on Democrats. In my opinion it all ballances out and they do attempt to be impartial.
