PolitiFact hammered for avoiding ruling on Warren, Harris claim Michael Brown was murdered

The fact-checking website PolitiFact again came under fire for alleged political bias Wednesday after it posted a bizarre article that refused to rule on whether Michael Brown was in fact "murdered" by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo. in 2014, as Democratic presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren falsely claimed last week.

So, PolitiFact with ties and still ad funded by the Tampa Bay Times is not as neutral as they would like everyone to believe.

Because MSM can't be trusted, fact checking has become common place. If the fact checking websites can't be trusted who can you trust? The writer of this article suggests the non-profit website factcheck.org < Link

It was a justified and clean shoot. They're trying to change the story to fit their narrative.

 

Politifact is a propaganda arm for the Democratic Establishment. They will try an keep in line the huge lies, unless it brings down their candidates of choice.

Michael Brown got himself killed.

 

The Left have learned the lessons of Orwellian 1984 very well.

Leftist brownshirts => Antifa
Leftist propaganda => PolitFact

 

This race hustler would make Al Sharpton blush.

Shortly after pushing her racial hoax narrative, numerous cops are shot in Philadelphia.

 

I've noticed that our leftists don't want to touch this subject after it was proved that the officer did not murder the Left's Gentle Giant Michael Brown but that in fact the thug did his very best to murder the police officer. All that effort into the LIE of "Hands up don't shoot!" and then pretty much openly endorsing the destruction of Ferguson itself by Dem Party loyalist voters and after all that the collective Left have got nothing to show for it.

 

From what I have read there are conflicting accounts of what happened and conflicting opinions on when police should shoot. So it was a good call for politifact to not rule on this question. There are also a lot of emotions and hostility around this issue, and politifact probably doesn't want to attract negative attention.

 

It put Ferguson MO on the map for all the wrong reasons too. It shows how much they care about the poor people who live there.

Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren will lie and do anything to try to take points away from Bidden. Slow Joe doesn't need any help.

 

Politifarce is just another left wing puppet.

 

Politifact and Snopes both have been campaign instruments of the left just like NBC or CNN.

 

I am solid centrist to left of center on almost everything.

I am here to tell you if I had been the officer, I would have shot Brown between the eyes.

Don't run at me (even a fellow half his size) when I tell you to turn around and get down.

 

Anyone who tells you politfact is a DNC instrument does not know at all what he is talking about.

 

Was the officer convicted of murder?

 

No, conclusion opinions on when police should shoot is a matter for legislative bodies. What is justified and what isn't is down to codified law.

How the court ruled and autopsy findings are facts. Not starting facts if you are a "fact checker" is not doing your job. They should lose credibility.

 

Anybody that tells you "anybody that tells you politifact is a DNC instrument does not know what they are talking about." Doesn't know what they are talking about.

 

No conflicting accounts...

Obama Dispatches Eric Holder To Ferguson As Federal Probes Continue

He reiterated that the Justice Department has opened an independent investigation into Brown’s killing, and announced that Attorney General Eric Holder will head to Ferguson Wednesday to meet with federal investigators.
….

Holder said later that the Justice Department is committing its “full resources” to the probe into Brown’s death. On Monday alone, he said, more than than 40 FBI agents conducted interviews with Ferguson residents. The department plans to carry out its own independent autopsy of Brown.

You link didn't refute the idea of conflicting accounts. Below is my source.

Shows the pure insanity of some of our Dem candidates that they could possibly utter that it was murder now after everything we know.

 

It is painful to read their statement on it as the STRAIN to not call them on it.

 

The evidence was indisputable. The MSM so-called witness stories all collapsed and statements recanted. The physical evidence clearly showed Brown was attacking Wilson. Warren and Harris are lying and know better. They are continuing the Democrat purposeful attempts to split the country apart on race and the capitalize on it.

 

Politifact as a basic fact checker can only say that a court of law did not find this officer guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the legal definition of murder by a police officer.

It can't stretch this to mean that the rules regarding police killing are morally correct, that the officer is innocent and didn't commit murder, or that the court did its job properly.

 

Seems like they are trying to make themselves so far left they are unelectable to most who identify as liberal, much less any independant.

 

No. Doesn't mean he is innocent either. Its murky.

 

Investigators and courts cleared Wilson of murder. Shouldn't politifact accept that fact, or should they change their name politopinion?

 

No, courts don't clear people of crimes. They can only find someone guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They don't establish innocence.

They also don't establish guilt or innocence according to moral standards, only legal standards.

Courts aren't infallible and are just a group of people who hear out lawyers and make their verdict.

Politifact doesn't exist to make absolute verdicts of guilt and innocence. Only God if he exists does that.
