CNN's Roberts confronts FL GOP's Greer with Politifact's "pants on fire" rating of his Obama school speech claim

Greer: "Politicfact is run by leftists."

Me: "Greer is so full of **** his eyes are brown."

love how the reich is scrambling to redefine their "anger" to be about the materials sent out beforehand. Joe Scarborough called it, go for the ratings but y'all are screwing the republican party. Enjoy, losers!

I really wish the media would just ignore these idiots. This is basically the reich wing fringe getting main stream credibility.

That is pathetic. That's all the host on CNN could do is bring the issue up once and then let it drop? In fact, the fact check agency asked where Brown got that statement, and he could not point to any source. He should have been continually asked why he lied. That is the problem with our stupid media. They think they do a good job to bring up a fact check once and then dropping it, and letting the the two people arguing with each other. How are viewers supposed to know who is telling the truth when the host just lets it drop like that?

Roland's response was adequate to Greer's claim that "PoliticalFact[sic]" is run by "left-leaning" people.

What a maroon.

Anyone who visits PolitiFact can see, right or wrong, that they rate various claims by various groups as they see fit in regards to the evidence at hand. Many times, that includes ruling Democratic claims as 'False' or 'Barely True'.

I love it how the right tends to blow off facts as coming from leftist sources, as if Liberals could not ever tell the truth. If you think about it, what does it say about Conservatives? Could it be that they blow off facts from Liberals because they know that they make things up all the time, so they just assume that Liberals do, too?

You are right about the "stupid media". They will entertain anything these obviously jealous, envious, lying people say- and never really hold them accountable for it.
If they did, not only would the "birthers" "deathers" and "tea baggers" look so stupid the first time around, but they would not give a platform to them again, and perhaps they would go away. Thanks to the media coverage we can expect these idiots back again.
Exposing them as crackpots, racists and dangerous would have been the honorable thing to do, but this media will give a microphone to any white person, no matter how ridiculous he is and treat it like News. Look at the people who brought guns to the President town hall meetings. The media gave THEM air-time and told US about their right to carry a gun.
Because of the stupid media keep putting these fools on the air and letting them off the hook more and more ridiculous people are coming out the wood-works. Like the nincompoops who claim Obama wants to indoctrinate school children.
The media is also the reason Obama poll numbers are down. The media is driven by conservatives and Republicans likes Carl Roves, Dick Cheney, Sean [Kl]annity and people who has a vested interest in Obama's failure.
