Trump 4, Politifact 1

Power Line, by John Hinderaker

Now that Donald Trump is president, our “fact checkers” have gone into overdrive. Every day, they crank out news stories purporting to correct Trump’s errors. More often than not, the “fact checkers” are merely relating the other side–the Democratic Party’s side–of the story. This story by Politifact is typical: “Fact-checking President Donald Trump’s Florida rally.” Politifact claims to correct five things that Trump said: Trump takes Jefferson out of context- Trump used the words of President Thomas Jefferson to make the case that the media, and newspapers, are illegitimate. Wrong.
Trump made the case that the news media are biased and frequently lie about him. Which is true.
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,” Trump quoted Jefferson as saying on June 14, 1807. That quote checks out.

It checks out, and it is not “out of context.” Trump actually quoted a little more of the letter, and you can read the whole thing here.
