The Education component in the sidebar still has Princeton Univ identified (and linked) as a source of Rep Brat's M.Div. (I don't bother editing since everything gets reverted anyway.) ConradArchguy ( talk) 01:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Everybody savvy realizes that PoliFact has a pro-Democrat viewpoint. It should not be cited, particularly when the main thrust of this article is anti-Brat. Even though Wikipedia tends to favor Democrats, there should be an attempt with articles like this to seeme neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 ( talk) 14:05, 8 May 2023 (UTC) reply
