Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
Another left leaning site filled with nonsense. Trump’s accuses of “coup” and you report as “pants on fire”?? Have you researched the work of Barr & Durham? At least put a footnote…waiting for these reports to confirm “pants on fire” All this just because you don’t like our President!
We did not rate it Pants on Fire. Politifact did. We are merely sharing the fact checks of the day. You should contact Politifact.
