Right-wing blogger Tim Graham has the sads.

From his column:

PolitiFact’s audience chief Ellen Hine acknowledged they’ve published over 1,000 “fact checks” on Trump, but then trotted out the false claim that their targeting is nonpartisan: “Without keeping count, we try to select facts to check from all sides of the political spectrum. At the same time, we more often fact-check the party that holds power or people who repeatedly make attention-getting or misleading statements.” That "without keeping count" is an obvious excuse. Anyone who attempts to count what they're doing will quickly realize they're very partisan in their targeting -- and in their ratings on truth and falsehood.  In the first five months of 2025, PolitiFact performed 68 “Truth-O-Meter” fact checks on Republicans to just 23 on Democrats. Even so, this website found the Republicans “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants On Fire” liars in 85 percent of those articles, while the Democrats landed on the false side only 39 percent.

Graham claims that when PolitiFact finds Trump lying more often than Democrats, this is clear evidence of a pro-Democratic bias, not evidence of Republicans lying more than Democrats.
