Yeah? And I voted for her. Doesn't mean I turned off my critical faculties. Politifact is even less objective than an organization with obvious ideological commitments might be expected to be (given their explicit aim for objectivity).

If a media org whose entire claim to credibility is based around being impartial decided it was a good idea to publicly endorse a candidate, than they're pretty invested in that candidate.
From that point, they don't have to forgo critical thinking to manipulate public opinion if they choose to. They could just be selective about the "facts" they fact-check.
