If you have a quote they used innacurately or without context, post it.
If you have a statistical interpretation they massaged, post it.
If you have a fact they got wrong, post it.
Humans maintain the site; the above are not impossible situations.
But stop with the "they're biased" claims when the only "evidence/proof" being that someone once knew someone who worked with someone who got money from someone that knew X candidate. It's childish, juvenile, and damaging to the the search for truth.
I'm not advocating blind adherence. I'm not saying you cannot question their results or articles. I'm simply saying that before you call their integrity into question, you had damn well do better than "IMO they are in the tank for X." Factcheck was good enough for Cheney, they should be good enough for you. Snopes smacked down Michael Moore so hard for Farenheit 9/11 untruths that they decided to apologize for their tone.
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not their own facts."
Damn straight.
