PolitiFact Gets More Pinocchios : Wis. Gov Walker's Car Attacked - State Police Lied?

Just when you think PolitiFact can't become any more of a joke...

In today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the 'journalists' at PolitiFact set out to prove whether or not an incident described in Governor Walker's book actually happened.

In their hackneyed analysis, they label false the claim that the Governor's car was surrounded and rocked by protesters after an event in LaCrosse.

What proof do they have that the event did not happen?

None.

However, they do ignore the word of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin, a Wisconsin State Trooper, and a political aide who no longer works in Wisconsin.  Three witnesses don't matter to the self-righteous, agenda-driven hacks at PolitiFact.

What is particularly hilarious is the 'fact checkers' say the lack of mainstream media coverage of the disturbance helped them give the claim a rating of false.

That's rich. 

The mainstream media did an embarrassingly awful job of reporting on the Big-Labor fueled chaos of 2011 and 2012. That they missed yet another incident is hardly 'proof' that the incident did not occur.

As we have chronicled here previously, PolitiFact has jumped the shark.
