Citing PoliFact

Everybody savvy realizes that PoliFact has a pro-Democrat viewpoint. It should not be cited, particularly when the main thrust of this article is anti-Brat. Even though Wikipedia tends to favor Democrats, there should be an attempt with articles like this to seeme neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 14:05, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
