    Politifact is owned and run by the Poynter Institute, a very left-leaning organization. It is often misleading.

    Factcheck.org's main funding comes from the Annenberg Foundation, which regularly donates to left-of-center organizations and causes. The Annenberg Public Policy Center is a center for the study of public policy at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Remember the PennBiden Center in DC?

    The libs jumping into the fact-checking business is brilliant!

    Trump goes to the border last week and bragged about the "Rolls-Royce" of wall there. Only one problem... that section was built under the Obama administration.

    Trump event at border wall Obama built highlights an unkept promise - The Washington Post

    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump came here on Thursday to heap praise on the structure standing to his right — “the Rolls-Royce of walls,” he called it — and lament the unused segments lying to his left. Joining him, Border Patrol union leader Paul A. Perez called the standing fence “Trump wall” and the idle parts “Kamala wall,” after Trump’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Those labels were inaccurate. This section of 20-foot steel slats was actually built during the administration of President Barack Obama. Trump added the unfinished extension up the hillside, an engineering challenge that cost at least $35 million a mile. The unused panels of 30-foot beams were procured during the Trump administration and never erected.
