No kidding.
Today, PolitiFact revisited its 2012 pronouncement that Obama’s pledge to “make the VA a leader of national health care reform” was “a Promise Kept.” That was good of them, wasn’t it? After all, Obama’s clearly failed to deliver.
Too bad they just can’t seem to bring themselves to admit that Obama failed:
We also re-rated promise on making Veterans health care a national model. It's now Stalled. http://t.co/fNd0YiL2QL

Stalled? Stalled? That’s the most they can say?
So this has been downgraded from "PROMISE KEPT" yesterday to "STALLED" today. STALLED. Quite a choice of words. pic.twitter.com/b2aIx3Rhsn

@JohnEkdahl @PolitiFact That's Pulitzer Prize level reporting.

Hack. Tastic.
Politifact updated it to “stalled”. Man, I wonder what it takes to fail. pic.twitter.com/dVbGKalcOi

No really, what would it take for @Politifact to rate this “failed”. pic.twitter.com/ffMf6jzP2e

Inquiring minds want to know. How about this?

That would probably get PolitiFact’s attention. Deadly gross negligence and mistreatment of our veterans evidently haven’t lit a fire under those journo-dopes.

@kerpen at what body count will it be declared as "failed?"

PolitiFact’s integrity? We’ll rate it as Pathetic.
