Media Coast-To-Coast Spotted Scott Walker's Deviousness
More for your "Scott Walker Truthiness Troubles" archive:
* The opinion editor at US News & World Report saw it early.
* As did Media Matters.
* So did The Washington Post, and it used video of a waffling but finally grudgingly confessional Walker on Capitol Hill to underscore it.
* Huffington Post joined the party.
* As has The Capital Times.
* And here at this modest blog, we've followed it all year long.
Going back to February, the first two of 73 Walker/PolitiFact/Truthiness on my blog, are here and here.
By July 10, there was this one and headline:
Another - - Yes, Another - - Walker "False" Rating Via PolitiFact: Anyone Keeping Score?
(Later examples, here, or within the last 48 hours - - here - - or go to the search box.) And yes, PolitiFact keeps score for you. Here's Walker's up-to-date PolitiFact record: 26, or close to 70% of the 38 statements it has vetted, include the word "False" in the rating:- True5(5)
- Mostly True3(3)
- Half True4(4)
- Mostly False7(7)
- False16(16)
- Pants on Fire3(3)
