    Can't refute anything in the Desantis article as inaccurate? Just fall back on attacking the site generally. Enjoy your bubble 95.

    You give me too much credit. Proving you right is nearly impossible.

    Totals by Politifact: Newsom 27, DeSantis 39.
    Yes, I think it could well have factchecked Jean-Pierre much more often.
    Now, let me ask again: You claimed that Politifact said that school closures worked. Can you point to where it said that?

    This shows that Politifact was of the belief that school closures were the right call.

    Biden Promise Tracker: | PolitiFact

    "The CDC's guidance to schools is a step toward Biden's promise to use evidence to determine school openings and closing. We will be watching to see if Biden makes progress toward his goal. For now we rate this promise In the Works."

    I found a different site that shows Newsome at 25 and DeSantis at 39. Just 56% more lol.

    Wow. Um, no. 'Politifact was of the belief that school closures were the right call' isn't remotely close to what it said.

    You're right. 25, not 27. I misread the first two 6s as 8s. My bad.

    You think 56% more fact checks is down the middle or just slightly left of center?

    Wow.

    Biden promised to use evidence to determine COVID-19 openings and closings, politifact says that this is still in progress and they can't say that he has fulfilled this promise yet, and the message you got was they claimed school closures were the right call?

    Am I reading this correctly? Someone help me out here, how does this make any sense?

    Yes, it has checked DeSantis more often than Newsom. I don’t know their criteria, motive etc.
    You seem to be using that as evidence that it’s fact-check about DeSantis was wrong.
    That doesn’t really make sense, does it?

    95, do you have a source that you believe is free of bias? I am always curious about this.

    That is harder and harder to find. I notice almost all news sources are biased in some way.

    So you don't think fact checking DeSantis 56% more often is a show of liberal bias? Just want to clarify.

    Why would that be if you are only comparing two people that have no direct relationship to each other? I assume they probably fact check Joe Biden more than any of those guys, because he's you know, president and everything he says is covered by more media. Would that mean they have a conservative bias, because Biden gets fact checked more than anyone?

    This is the guidance. Although some can argue that the guidance went too far, the CDC did not recommend school closures after Biden took office although it may have done so at one time.

    Seriously? This is your rebuttal? Wow. Sure, compare Biden's fact checks compared to Trump's. Biden has been fact checked 257 times. Trump 964. I compared 2 Governors of 2 of the largest states so that is an fair comparison. As is comparing Presidents. So again, let's just all agree Politifact is pretty far left leaning.
