Complaint to the International Fact-Checking Network about PolitiFact, May 19, 2020

On May 19, 2020, Zebra Fact Check submitted a formal complaint about PolitiFact to the International Fact-Checking Network. The complaint alleges that a PolitiFact explainer article on the Gen. Michael Flynn prosecution reversal reported self-contradictory information and presented readers with a completely one-sided view of the Justice Department’s decision.

The complaint also notes PolitiFact failed to fix the described problems in response to Zebra Fact Check’s May 11, 2020 correction request.
