PolitiFact blasted as a ‘lie-laundering scheme’ after misleading fact-check on Trump

The Poynter Institute for Media Studies was blasted on Thursday for their fact check on President Donald Trump's attempts to cut Social Security and Medicare.

"During his 2016 campaign, Trump said 'I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.' In the end, Trump proposed cuts, but Congress didn’t bite. Promise Kept," the site declared.

The organization was quickly blasted for concluding Trump had kept his promise because he had been unsuccessful at his attempts to break it.

Here's some of what people were saying.
