Actually, all facts.Originally Posted by .blank cd
Implied: Strongly suggest the truth or existence of (something not expressly stated): "the report implies that two million jobs might be lost".
Romney did not do that. He made a clear, correct statement.
Inferred: Deduce or conclude (information) from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.
Politifact did do that. Read their article. Their conclusion states it as such.
Politifact was started by Bill Adair and the Tampa Bay Times (originally the St Petersburg Times). The St Petersburg Times has been known to be a liberal paper, that's not new news.
76 percent of negative reports on Politifact are targeted at Republicans, and 22 percent at Democrats - that's factual. Bill Adair is a liberal - read his echo chamber editorial.
"PolitiFact routinely rated claims that were entirety true, indisputable, and not misleading, as “half-true” because they failed to include additional “context,” i.e., liberal spin. For example, Senator “Ted Cruz claims national debt is bigger than the nation’s GDP. Yes, our national debt absolutely, incontrovertibly exceeds the nation’s GDP. But claiming that gets you a ‘Half-True’ because Politifact’s Gardner Selby” thought that saying that was mean-spirited. Similarly, PolitiFact said it was “misleading” and dishonest for a conservative politician to make the true factual observation that Obama “refuses to recognize Jerusalem” as Israel’s capital, even though that fact was concededly true, because the politician did not provide additional context that PolitiFact wanted: namely, that Obama is not the first president to take this position." - Hans Bader of CEI - PolitiFact Is The Liar Of The Year
