First they work to gain credibility, and once that's accomplished, they slowly turn to the right - in the direction they had in mind from the get-go.

Corporatocracy can't survive in a progressive country with progressive-minded people. The oligarchy can only survive when people are dumbed down (pretty much the same tactic slave owners used by making it unlawful for slaves to learn how to read).

I wasn't surprised PolitiFact would go this route. It's the route CNN, NBC, CNBC, ABC, Huffington Post, TIME mag, NYT, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, etc., are all taking to continue corporate propaganda and to continue to keep the unwashed masses under their control by controlling the message.

Even search engines are being infiltrated. Google and other search engines are being controlled. Try to find something about the PPACA or ObamaCares, or just type in Obama and you'll see the first five to six pages are filled with rightwing sites by using meta tags to keep their propaganda up front.

How many people go beyond page three let alone page five for their information?

I used to refer to them all the time, but they have changed over time.
