PolitiFact editor Bill Adair is refusing to back down on his site's "false" rating for Rachel Maddow's claim that Wisconsin was on track to have a budget surplus.
After Maddow executive producer Bill Wolff sent a letter asking for a correction, Adair responded by saying no correction was warranted.
Speaking to Howard Kurtz on CNN Sunday, Adair stood by his decision.
"What she just did was mislead everybody," he insisted.

And late last year, a Democratic-led U.S. House committee obtained Trump's tax returns — and released them publicly.
Shortly after Trump made his debut as a reality TV show host on NBC's "The Apprentice," for example, he filed a tax return showing nearly $90 million in losses from his core businesses.
