Bob Rathgeber nailed it with his assessment of PolitiFact. Sort of.
Rathgeber, who writes for the Fort Myers News-Press, penned a little story about PolitiFact and its coverage of the Florida gubernatorial election. The story was forgettable. The title of the story was priceless: "PolitiFact ferrets out the truth ... and fibs."
The title may be taken either of two ways. "Fibs" may be taken as a noun, with the meaning that PolitiFact ferrets out the truth and also ferrets out fibs. "Fibs" may also be taken as a verb, in which case PolitiFact fibs in addition to ferreting out the truth.
Both are "Mostly True," I'd say.
