Allegations of political bias

This is mainly not about allegations of political bias. The Ostermeier study, for example, just gives the result that Republicans are more often caught lying by PolitiFact than Democrats, but not anything about accusations. The obvious explanation of the result is that Republicans lie more, not that PF is biased. So, this should be in another section called "Results". --Hob Gadling (talk) 13:01, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reread the section again. Moreover, your claim, that Republicans "lie more" is original research. 62.217.185.86 (talk) 17:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are confused about the rules. Since I do not want to include that explanation in the article, it is not OR. It is still a fact that the Ostermeier part has no direct connection with "political bias". --Hob Gadling (talk) 06:15, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
