It's a huge web site that calls out lots of right wing bullshit. Can you point to something they have posted that is wrong?

How about Think Progress? Same group of Democrats. Are they a bunch of liars too?

Or do they only become liars if they are pro-HRC?

HRC on the record [View all] MaggieD May 2015 OP

Let me be the first to call bullshit. That is Hillary's Super PAC website, hardly a reliable source NYC_SKP May 2015 #1

So does it follow that everything Bernie says MaggieD May 2015 #2

Bernie took money from Hillpac Florencenj2point0 May 2015 #25

Just for fun...can you provide a reliable (in your view) pro-Hillary website? Sancho May 2015 #37

"Pro-anybody" is, by definition, not going to be objective. NYC_SKP May 2015 #38

Ok...post a link that is "neutral" about Hillary that reaches a positive conclusion if you see one. Sancho May 2015 #49

And just who the fuck is going to state voting facts etc Sheepshank May 2015 #43

Lies aren't needed for Hillary to be deemed disqualified. She's done it all to herself. NYC_SKP May 2015 #45

pisses you off to no end that she's trying to clarify the lies the Bernie supporters are spreading Sheepshank May 2015 #47

Why wouldn't Hillary's website be an accurate source for her running positions? pnwmom May 2015 #67

Thanks for posting this link. MineralMan May 2015 #4

Lmao!!!@ even though.. darkangel218 May 2015 #6

Do you suppose that every candidate will not have a similar site? MineralMan May 2015 #7

You never hid your support for Hillary darkangel218 May 2015 #8

Do people have to "hide" their support for a candidate here? MaggieD May 2015 #11

Not at all. darkangel218 May 2015 #14

it's simply an acknowledgement the info comes from a site HRC has some control over Sheepshank May 2015 #53

As I have said multiple times, I will be caucusing for MineralMan May 2015 #64

Point #1 - Human Rights Advocate. sabrina 1 May 2015 #30

Whatever you say... MineralMan May 2015 #66

So does it follow that everything Bernie says is BS too? MaggieD May 2015 #9

Consistent. NYC_SKP May 2015 #15

So if it comes from HRC it's BS, and if it comes from Bernie.... MaggieD May 2015 #16

Yes. Because Bernie is honest. darkangel218 May 2015 #17

Really? MaggieD May 2015 #18

ooh, straight from one of Hillary's Super PACs. I love Propaganda cali May 2015 #10

So then we should also assume everything Bernie says is BS as well? MaggieD May 2015 #12

I wouldn't rely on his website to verify his record. He's hardly disinterested cali May 2015 #20

Everything you know about him came out of his mouth MaggieD May 2015 #23

"Any longer" lol!! So long! morningfog May 2015 #35

Yep - any longer MaggieD May 2015 #50

So these bill numbers are not fact? MaggieD May 2015 #24

Just for fun...can you provide a non-propaganda (in your view) pro-Hillary website? Sancho May 2015 #44

It's a super pac created by the HRC campaign cali May 2015 #31

First Fact check on the Bernie Supporter BS MaggieD May 2015 #33

Hillary was an advisor for Media Matters when it was first created m-lekktor May 2015 #55

Well damn her for doing that, huh? MaggieD May 2015 #59

You need to fact check yourself again MaggieD May 2015 #57

It's a PAC that supports Democrats MaggieD May 2015 #32

It's a Pac. That much is a given. Some of the other Pacs actually give a background think May 2015 #39

Google it - it's not a secret MaggieD May 2015 #41

I did and found nothing until you mentioned it above. That's why websites have an about section think May 2015 #46

No different than any PAC MaggieD May 2015 #48

Thank you Motherjones for letting me know who runs the Correctrcord.org PAC think May 2015 #51

So the folks at Media Matters are prone to lying in your opinion? MaggieD May 2015 #70

One hour and I've identified 23 Flat Out Lies on that page. NYC_SKP May 2015 #40

According to who? MaggieD May 2015 #42

So you're allowed to call them facts, but NYC_SKP cannot call them lies? Doctor_J May 2015 #68

Well since he got a very essential point wrong.... MaggieD May 2015 #69

maybe I'll post a link to a page of "facts" about JEB Bush. If the link Doctor_J May 2015 #54

Do you think Media Matters lies? MaggieD May 2015 #56
