POLITIFACT Makes Misleading Claims Regarding Biden Stance on Afghan War
POLITIFACT ("PF") claims Biden is lying when he said “I’ve been against that war in Afghanistan from the very beginning.”. PF asserts that: ...it’s incorrect for Biden to say he opposed the war “from the very beginning.” Along with every other senator present, Biden voted to launch the war in the first place, three days after the 9/11 attacks. However, this is a relative opinion based on Biden's vote on a bill which did not explicitly name Afghanistan as the country of which the United States had declared war. What the bill act…

Misleading Claims of Vaccine Approval from POLITIFACT
POLITIFACT published an article headlined "Yes, Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is FDA approved" which is not only a false claim, it's refuted by their own argument.
