Ministry of Truth: Where “Fact-Checks” Are Just Fiction with a Blue Checkmark
Ladies and gentlemen of the resistance, welcome back to the Ministry of Truth—your daily dose of Orwellian outrage from your friendly editors here at Whatfinger News, where the Ministry’s finest propagandists “debunk” reality faster than a fact-checker deletes a Hunter laptop tweet. In this Orwellian funhouse, conservative truths get labeled “misinformation” while blue-city ballot dumps and Fauci fanfic pass as gospel. Today, we’ve scoured the swamp for the top 3 “fact-checks” that scream “gaslight much?”—each a perfect storm of omitted context, strawman savagery, and selective amnesia. These aren’t checks, they’re chits for the Deep State slush fund.
Pick your poison, and we’ll eviscerate it next.
1. FactCheck.org’s “Debunk” of Trump’s Grocery Price “Lie” (November 2025 Edition)
Oh, the horror: Trump touts Walmart’s 2025 Thanksgiving meal costing 25% less than last year, and FactCheck.org swoops in like a budget superhero, crying “Misleading!” Why? Because the basket swapped premium brands for store generics and axed a few sides. Never mind that overall grocery inflation is cooling under Trump’s tariffs—down 0.4% monthly per BLS data they conveniently ignore. It’s like “debunking” a diet success by saying “But you ate less cake!” This one’s ripe for the roast: Expose how these “watchdogs” (funded by Soros-adjacent grants) always omit the Biden-era spike that made turkey a luxury good.
2. PolitiFact’s Pants-on-Fire on Trump’s “30 Million Illegals Flood” Claim (November 17, 2025)
PolitiFact, the Pulitzer-prize-winning echo chamber, slaps Trump’s “we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants” with a False rating, nitpicking CBP’s “official” encounters (only 10M since 2021, they say). Cute—forget the got-aways (estimated 2M/year by DHS leaks), visa overstays (700K annually), and the 20M+ amnesty ghosts from Biden’s pen. It’s classic Ministry math: Count only what fits the narrative, ignore the caravans crashing weddings in Eagle Pass. This “check” is a goldmine for mockery—highlight how their own cited “experts” (read: Brookings Institute libs) lowball numbers to protect the open-borders cash cow. Housing crisis? “Coincidence,” says the Ministry.
Heritage Foundation’s Meta-Takedown: “Fact-Checkers Aren’t Fact-Checkers—They’re Leftist Enforcers” (Ongoing November 2025 Commentary)
Not a “debunk,” but the perfect counterpunch: Heritage shreds the entire racket, spotlighting how FactCheck.org’s Daniel Dale “debunks” Scott Bessent’s inflation take by inventing a strawman (“exclusively Biden’s fault”) then knocking it down with supply-chain excuses. Dale’s “experts”? The same Brookings crew that greenlit the spending spree. This exposes the Ministry’s playbook: Shift goalposts, cite biased “independents,” and label dissent “dangerous.” Ideal for a feature—pair it with X threads calling out PolitiFact’s 2025 “bias audit” flop (they rated Trump 90% False, Dems 20%). It’s the gift that keeps giving: Proof the checkers need checking. These are the cream of the censorship crop—pick one, and we’ll turn it into a Ministry meme factory. The truth doesn’t need a badge; it just needs a spotlight. What’s your weapon of choice?
Oh, and on Politifact…. let’s all be real, shall we. PolitiFact: The “Truth-O-Meter” That’s More Like a “Trump-O-Meter” Set to “Pants on Fire”
Ah, PolitiFact—the Poynter Institute’s crown jewel of “fact-checking,” where objectivity goes to die a slow, partisan death. Founded in 2007 by the Tampa Bay Times (now a liberal echo chamber disguised as a newspaper), this outfit struts around with its cutesy “Truth-O-Meter,” doling out verdicts like “True,” “Mostly True,” “Half True,” “Mostly False,” “False,” and the nuclear option: “Pants on Fire.” Sounds adorable, right? Like a kid’s game where everyone wins participation trophies—except when you’re a conservative. Then it’s less “Simon Says” and more “Simon Says You’re a Liar, Hitler, and Probably a Russian Asset Too.” As the Heritage Foundation dryly observes, PolitiFact’s “core principles” of independence and fairness are about as real as Biden’s border security plan: a noble myth peddled to the gullible while the real action happens behind the velvet curtain of left-wing activism. Let’s crank up the sarcasm dial to 11.
Imagine a referee in a boxing match who lets the blue corner (Dems) land haymakers with kid gloves while strapping brass knuckles on the red corner’s (GOP) fists—then docking points when they bruise. That’s PolitiFact in a nutshell. During Trump’s first term, they “fact-checked” him over 1,000 times, slapping “False” or worse on 70% of his statements, per their own archives. Biden? In his first 20 months, zero “Pants on Fire” rulings—nada, zilch, not even a polite “Half True” for his “minor” fibs about inflation being “transitory” or the border being “secure.” As MRC’s Tim Graham quipped in a Fox News deep-dive, it’s like PolitiFact hired a Biden family accountant: Everything adds up perfectly, as long as you ignore the laptop full of receipts. Breitbart’s John Nolte calls it straight-up: “PolitiFact is a disgraced, fake, far-left, unofficial propaganda arm of the Democrat Party,” especially after their 2025 “Lie of the Year” went to… you guessed it, Trump’s “stolen election” claims, while giving Kamala’s border fairytale a gentle “Mostly True” pat on the head.
The bias isn’t subtle. it’s a sledgehammer wrapped in a Snopes citation. Heritage’s Mike Gonzalez eviscerates them for “fact-checking random Facebook posts by nonpublic figures” to pad their anti-conservative hit parade, while ignoring Dem whoppers like Hillary’s “deplorables” remix or AOC’s Green New Deal fairy dust. Remember when PolitiFact rated Ted Cruz’s Supreme Court “rigging” claim “Mostly False” in 2021? They twisted Senate rules into pretzels to defend McConnell’s blockade on Merrick Garland, but cried foul when Republicans played by the exact same playbook for Amy Coney Barrett. Cruz fired back on Fox: “Lying liars who lie.” And don’t get me started on their 2022 midterms meltdown, where they “debunked” DeSantis on hurricane forecasts as “Mostly False” because one tiny island wasn’t in the cone—ignoring the statewide devastation. Conservative radio host Jason Rantz nailed it: “They’re Democratic Party activists who weaponize ‘objective analysis’ to protect their tribe.”Humor break: PolitiFact’s like that vegan friend at Thanksgiving who lectures you on turkey ethics but devours the stuffing.
They “fact-check” Trump’s “30 million illegals” as “False” (citing Brookings lowballs that exclude got-aways and overstays), but let Biden’s “no amnesty” pledge slide into “Mostly True” despite his parole pipeline flooding sanctuary cities. As Daily Wire’s Ashe Schow notes, their parent Poynter Institute—bankrolled by Soros-adjacent Joyce and Gill Foundations—pays journalists $10K grants to “report” on “anti-trans extremists” and Biden’s “good effects,” turning local news into DNC PSAs. Newsmax’s Greg Mantz exposes the rot: PolitiFact’s “independence” is a joke, with 90% of Trump checks landing “False” while Dems get a 70% “True” pass. In the end, PolitiFact isn’t checking facts; it’s curating narratives. As Heritage warns, it’s part of a left-wing “fact-check industry” that’s scaled up to drown conservatives in debunkings while shielding the regime. Trump? They’ve got a dedicated “Trump-O-Meter” like he’s Voldemort. Biden? Crickets. If truth were a casino, PolitiFact’s the house—always wins, unless you’re betting red. Five stars for comedy, zero for credibility. Read at your own risk: Your BS detector might explode.

PolitiFact is apparently concerned the State Dept. and other government agencies are terminating $8 million in Politico Pro subscriptions thanks to Trump and Doge. So, who funds PolitiFact? Oh.
