NRO: Politifact Isn't
Among its recent calls:
Its recent rulings on Medicare have demonstrated the point thrice over. PolitiFact said that Romney’s comment that Obama had “robbed” Medicare of $716 billion to pay for Obamacare was “mostly false.” Among its reasons: “The money was not robbed in any literal sense of the word.” So if Romney led anyone to believe that Obama had held Medicare at gunpoint and ordered it to hand over its wallet, they can now rest easy, because PolitiFact is on the case.
PolitiFact Did, Surprisingly, Note This One as True... "Romney gave away his inheritance."
I hope Romney doesn't overplay this. It's true, but his dad died when Mitt had already made a lot of money, and Mitt began his life with a lot of money and other advantages. It's a good point to make; just don't over-make it into something that can be attacked.
