A roundup of false comments that still burn
There’s not much worse for the political class than a trip to the fiery regions courtesy of PolitiFact Georgia and the AJC Truth-O-Meter.
This year PolitiFact Georgia published more than 240 fact checks. Of those, 17 had the distinction of being awarded a Pants On Fire rating. Not only were these statements judged to be untrue, but they were found to be ridiculously so.
Here are summaries of a few of our favorite incendiary ratings of the year.
Today’s roundup kicks off a weeklong review of some of the best of PolitiFact Georgia from 2013.
