Those read pretty spot on to me. This looks fair, too.

PolitiFact Virginia responds to the state GOP
By Warren Fiske on Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 at 9:19 p.m. .. bit ..

PolitiFact Virginia does not keep running tallies of our stories because we try to focus on the work
in front of us. Umpire focuses on the play at hand, not the calls they made throughout the game.

But in moments of introspection last week, we did take the time to run some numbers. We’ve run 205 Truth-O-Meters
since PolitiFact Virginia started in October 2010 -- 60 percent on Republican claims and 40 percent on Democrat claims.

After gathering a full list of our fact-check items, we assigned 5 for a True, 4 for a Mostly True, 3 for a Half True, 2 for a Mostly False, 1 for a False,
and zero for a Pants on Fire. The average rating for each Democratic claim we have reviewed is 2.9, the average rating for Republicans was 2.8.

Seems to me that should settle the bias question in anyone's mind except that of a cement head Foxbot such as Peter Roff.

Chuckle. All the above said i love this from Rachel Maddox. Don't react negatively, you should enjoy it, too.

PolitiFact fails again (Destroy!)

job PolitiFact does checking facts when the news business and the internet especially has such a need for that service. Duration: 7:37

PS: In case you didn't see it i had the three replies here all as one at first. Better as a triplet.
