Politifact defends blown Obamacare keep-your-coverage rulings

Politifact editor Angie Holan declined to respond to my questions about whether the fact-checking organization still stands by its earlier blown calls on whether everyone would be able to keep their health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. She has, however, defended the ruling in a column today on the Poynter Institute’s website.

To recap: In six separate columns between 2008 and 2012, Politifact weighed in on President Obama’s claim. Not once did Politifact accurately call it false.
