A Facebook email was received from Bryan White in which he told me that I should "get a clue" about Politi-Score; I was wasting my time because it was "useless." Yeah, OK. So here's graphical proof that those grades he grants in his PolitiFact critiques at Sublime Bloviations aren't exactly useful either:
These were from the last ten articles he's posted. There was one I didn't include because it looked like an exact duplicate of another one. I put a big red star on the ONLY one he "upgraded" at a very generous D. All with one excuse or another to "flunk" their writers and editors, or I should say *his systematic attempt to fault PolitiFact for bias.* Since my "averages" are useless, it makes me wonder: are those grades used for these writers annual performance reviews? I mean, does Bill Adair's boss (or Bill Adair) sit down with Lou Jacobson or whoever, and say, "I see that Bryan White has flunked you five times this year for your PolitiFact articles. If those grades don't improve, we may have to put you on suspended status and this may result in termination" or "...no raise until you improve your grades over at Sublime Bloviations."
All kidding aside, when I made the final crop on this collage, I noticed that Louis Jacobson's grade was accidentally cut off to the far right. Oh well, why fix it, we already know what it is.
