Could you provide examples of why you think this?

Here's a couple examples of verdicts that I'd consider faux bipartisan:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...n-rape-incest/
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...s-under-medic/
These are things that are quite true that get rated as half true because of Romney's fuzziness, not because Obama said something that was actually false.
I don't think it's extremely biased. I think their actual writing is usually pretty good. I just think they go out of their way to try to make the actual verdicts as close to even as is reasonably possible (or even unreasonably).

Just to reiterate though, I don't think there's any way I could prove my assertion. It's an opinion. I report... you decide
It originally was Republicans/conservatives who said it was biased because it refuted what they would say.How credible is Politifact, though? Most people I talk to or in conversations I read about always say that it's extremely biased.
Then Politifact pretended it was neutral and would say things are false or pants-on-fire based on a random interpretation of what a Democrat or Liberal has said, and now they agree with the conservatives.
Rachel Maddow does a fantastic job explaining why Politifact is crap. I'd find a video but I don't care that much.
*sighs* I know he can't, I know. But I would probably go donate to his campaign if he did.President can't do that. Not very Presidential (hear that Mitt?)
His campaign team will do it though. A lot.
I just want someone to flatout say, "Romney is fucking lying about Medicare and this supposed 716 billion dollars he's cutting from it."
I'd actually like to see that video if you could be so kind.
Given how much practise Romney has had with debates lately (Republican nominee debates) Obama is holding his own. I just wish Obama could come out and just call Romney a liar. I know he can't but still...
Though its fun watching Romney trying to argue against Obamacare when he instated the same program in MA.
So Romney is now bullying the moderator.
Perfect example of him in a nutshell. Trying to have a fair debate and gets bullied by Mitt Romney.

"I love great schools" - Romney 2012. That means absolutely nothing. Just like when he said the trees the right height in Michigan.
