If you are going to blame internet comment sections for the method by which the far-right dominates the internet you should probably focus on the fact that most non-far right media sources have been ditching forums and comment sections. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/2...versation.shtml

Regarding Politifact I don't mind when they get it wrong but have the sources for verification, it's when they blatantly ignore sources that contradict their rating so they're nowhere in the article that it becomes a problem. For example, their recent piece from Podesta about how Wikileaks released the e-mails shortly after the Access Hollywood tape. Podesta's statement as true solely on the fact that wikileaks announcement of the e-mail dump came after the Access Hollywood despite the fact that wikileaks had annouced days earlier that they were releasing something soon and the e-mail dump had been posted to their website with others sending out tweets before the Access Hollywood release, it's just the announcement from Wikileaks, via twitter, didn't come until afterwards. But there is no way to verify that in their article because they've chosen to ignore other sources.
