You think Politifact is a valid source.

People here will just attack the source instead of confronting information that challenges their beliefs.

So if you dont like it or agree, it is a lie. Bigotry is strong on this board.

Well, when the source has been proven to be biased and and flat out lie, then...

For fun, I think we should all link Politifact articles that clearly show bias from the lists the OP linked.
Here's a good one: Carlson: Guns don't kill people, bathtubs do (nice, already showing bias in the headline)
In order to label this claim "PANTS ON FIRE," Politifact included numbers that include TEENAGERS! As if anyone in conversation is thinking about 13-17 year olds when they talk about "children." Their own chart clearly shows that 74 children from the ages of 0-9 (I can't go up to the age of 12 because they include 10-12 with the ages 13 and 14) died from drowning in the year in question, while 45 died from accidental gunfire. Now, that might not be "far more children," as Tucker claimed, but it certainly isn't a PANTS ON FIRE lie. This should either be "Mostly True" or "Half True." They're clearly reaching.
ETA: This took me 20 seconds to find after opening your link. You REALLY don't want to stand on the shoulders of Politifact as a legit source.

"Far more children died last year drowning in their bathtubs than were killed accidentally by guns," Carlson said. "I’d like to see a package on ‘Do you have a bathtub at home because I want to know before I let my child go over to your house.’ A little perspective might be helpful."

Poltifact is a joke. They rated the deletion of Hillary Clinton's 33,000 emails as 'half true'.

Carlson didn’t say what age children he had in mind, but in the context of the story he was responding to — and his rhetorical question about something "I want to know before I let my child go over to your house" — this is not about children under 4 years old. Parents don't let toddlers "go over" to a friend’s house.

Facts about polifact.
They are owned and operated by the Tampa Bay Times.
The Tampa Bay Times has never, ever, endorsed a republican for president. Their political bias is all over their publication.
Polifact is just as reliable as Snopes which was founded by liberals and is funded by George soros.

They seem pretty subjective in some of their verdicts

The fact that you used Politifact as your source just proves how totally ignorant you are to what is truly leftist propaganda. Thankfully most of this board isn't that ignorant.

Yes people here will attack the source. They'll also post pages of reasons to show why they are attacking it, which liberals tend to not do.
And once this happens people like you will turn into little crickets and disappear.
