FOX NEWS: Conservatives on Twitter ripped PolitiFact apart after it published a fact-check denying a claim made in a social media post that the White House has “changed the definition of recession” in order to protect Joe Biden.
The fact check came a day before the news broke that the U.S. economy has entered its second consecutive quarter of negative GDP, a traditionally tell-tale indicator of an economy entering into a recession.
Senator Ted Cruz, R-Tex., communications special advisor Steve Guest HAMMERED the fact-check, tweeting, “The hacks over at Politifact are a shameless cog in the Democrat disinformation machine. This is completely brazen hackery on display. And it is why the so-called fact checking industry has zero credibility.”

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton pushed back against the fact-check, writing, “@Politifact is corruptly lying about Biden WH change to the definition of ‘recession.’ And now this lie, to protect Joe Biden, will be used to censor countless users on @Facebook and other social media platforms.”
