@zapproowsdower American politics is indeed highly polarize... but just because you don't like it, doesn't mean there isn't any facts being reported. If you think she is wrong, counter with factual information... don't just rant about it being "Left-vs-right paradigm" for the sake of appearing you are above such things or simply because you dislike her. If accuracy of information does not matter to you, than whatever paradigm you subscribe to is just as pointless.

@greyflcn I agree. I follow Jon more than Fareed. It's funny to get your news from Comedy Central and your comedy from Fox News.

RLMFAO! how dare you hold people accountable!

[nowwithmorekick]

I don't really like her.She is a little to much left. She tries to defend the left to much while pointing the finger a little to much to the right when we have a problem with the whole political spectrum.

We now know who owns politifacts.

[typhoon320i]

This is the title for the video she's talking about.

See if it sounds to you like she's saying Wisconsin has a budget deficit...

Msnbc wrong again racheal maddow claims ruled false

[LowEndBCC]

I see why they are only filmed from the waist up if because these guys must be rock hard while reporting the truth. (hehe one more you look like a dude joke Ms Maddow) Great job on this.

@0bjective2All So while it was unfair of PolitiFact to focus on her opening claim about the surplus (which is what they rated False), PolitiFact did address the disingenuous way in which she blamed Walker for the budget shortfall this year. I like Maddow, but in this case it seems PolitiFact provided its usual thorough and factual analysis of claims.

[0bjective2All]

While Maddow did acknowledge the budget shortfall, she made it sound as though it was the result of Walker's tax breaks, when in fact it is the result of unpaid bills and expected shortfalls in programs like Medicaid, along with a discontinued tax reciprocity deal with Minnesota to which Wisconsin owes money. Walker's tax breaks do not take effect until the next budget cycle.
