Quote from futurecurrents:
from the article:
As for PolitiFact, it is interesting that although Maddow has had her own MSNBC show since September 2008, this is only the 18th time this organization has fact-checked one of her comments.
That averages out to about three a year.
By contrast, PF's first rating of something Fox News's Sean Hannity said was February 2008. Since then, the organization has fact-checked him 66 times or almost once a month.
Glenn Beck has been rated 66 times since April 2009, or more than once a month.
Rush Limbaugh has been rated 62 times since April 2008, or almost once a month.
Why does Maddow get her comments fact-checked about 75 percent less than these conservatives?
Why? Well the most obvious reason is usually the correct one. It's because Maddow doesn't deal in bullshit as much as the deluded ignorant bloviating bullshitters on the right like Beck and Limbaugh.
That is the reason.
