Every side says it's biased against them.
Truth is they aren't perfect but are still better than nothing.
People think politifact is bias because they look at the ratings and don't take the time to read the article or the justification for the rating. Republicans just seem to get salty at the fact that their politicians tell a lot of outright lies, while Democrats often tell the truth, but do twist that truth into a different narrative. It's why politifact often rates them as half true.
The statement itself is true. It's the narrative that is often twisted. That's why you read the fucking article.
RIF - Read is fundamental
RTFM - Read the Fucking Manual
etc.
If you don't read, you make yourself look like an idiot.

'Trump has repeatedly called the judge a "hater" and described him as "Spanish" or "Mexican"' - Oh dear, Trump, oh dear oh dear.
The wage gap and refugee being mostly men. The wage gap, in the way Obama mentions it, doesn't exist. The refugees is only mostly false when you look at Syrian refugees only.

Or per experience level per job per hour. That's a big one. If we got a new hire at my division, they'd have the same job title as me, but I have 5 years of experience. Of course they're going to be paid less than me.
It's an overarching view of every employee, not really useful at analyzing what's really going on. That, of course, doesn't mean the fact is somehow false, just not terribly useful.Well, right up front, "The numbers are valid, the comparison is questionable" gets a "mostly false", whereas the 77c thing fits that description perfectly and gets a "mostly true".
1. He said the judge was incapable of doing his job because he's Mexican.
2. I didn't say to google the judge. I said to google trump university, which was a scam.
3. Your sources don't say the 77% is wrong. It says you should also factor in other things, which the politifact article also says.
Yes he said,

In an interview, Mr. Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel had “an absolute conflict” in presiding over the litigation given that he was “of Mexican heritage” and a member of a Latino lawyers’ association. Mr. Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border. “I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest,” Mr. Trump said.
Well I think its a bit lenient on the democrats from those quotes but you would have to compare all of them or at least a random sample to make a proper conclusion. Obviously cherry picked statements are going to look bad.
Biased? No.
Inconvenient? Yes.
All politicians are liars and Politifact is a tool that attempts to restore integrity and reason to the chaotic world of politics.
It not be accurate, it might even be broken, but it's a step in the right direction. I want to hold politicians accountable for the things they say, even if it's the ones I like, even if they share an opinion I agree with, I want it to be factually and empirically true.
My favorite things to do on these forums is to watch people excuse what their shitty candidates say.
