Rachel Maddow of MSNBC stated that Politifact is not a reliable so-called 'fact-checking' organization.

Personally, Hoffa doesn't trust any of the so-called 'fact-checkers,' as how do you know that they aren't biased, and who fact-checks the so-called 'fact-checkers?' There are many self-declared 'fact-checkers' out there, and rarely do the so-called 'fact-checkers' fully agree with one another. Isn't that proof enough that these so-called 'fact-checkers' aren't worth a second of your time - that is of course if you value accurate information?

Try researching the primary sources for yourself, making your own analysis, and coming to your own conclusions - that what us big boys call 'thinking.'

Instead of entrusting the task of thinking to third party secondary sources, as doing so only makes you a lazy sheep/lemming!

Mr. Milligan appropriately identified his letter as representing a subjective opinion.

To the contrary, Politifact asserts that their assessments are premised upon objective facts, when in reality, they aren't always.

Start thinking for yourself.

@oldmoderate -

Greetings again - hope you're doing well!

Mr. Milligan's subjective opinion is premised upon his conclusions that Zerban erroneously alleges that "Congressman Ryan's budget “ends Medicare,"" which happens to be correct and premised upon the objective facts of Congressman Ryan's budget proposals, which does not end Medicare, whether or not Politifact correctly assessed the situation or not.

As to your suggestion that the candidates should be judged on equal standards, Hoffa does not disagree - but using Politifact upon which to base such a standard would not be employing equality or uniformity, as Politifact doesn't assess every statement made (so there's some bias in the selection of what is being assessed) and they aren't always correct in their assessments (often times relying upon the third party opinions of so-called experts, as opposed to objective and indisputable facts).

Again - think for yourself. That is all that Hoffa asks.

If you're a Zerban supporter, then Hoffa asks you to explain the math of Zerban's plan to grow the economy while balancing the federal budget, as Zerban pretty much parrots Obama, and the math of Obama's plan just doesn't add up. As Romney asserted at the last debate, another four years of Obama would mean another 4-5T in additional accrued federal debt. And Obama did not dispute this FACT.
