    nothing more obnoxious than websites that proclaim themselves neutral arbiters of truth

    It's one of the most neutral websites I've seen.

    Of course, since it dares to criticize any tea baggers, they think it's biased. But, it checks everyone.

    I tend to agree.
    It's why Fox News' "Fair and Balanced" tag line always sounded Orwellian to me, but that isn't the OP's question.
    I have found it to be accurate. Is it perfect? No, but I have not been clued into a better source. If someone has one, I'd love to check it out.

    I look on everything with some suspicion - Politifact is one of the few sources that I actually trust now.
