Politifact gets it wrong again

Letter to AJC 6-26-2012
 
The people writing the  AJC Politifact are either showing their heavy anti-Obama bias  with the  latest 6-26-2012 rating, or they need a remedial reading comprehension class, or they support the republican war on women. Maybe all three. They rated Obama's latest ad as mostly false, but it's obvious that they took the words and modified the intent of  the statement to meet their own biased thinking.
The ad said "President Obama knows that women being paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men isn't just unfair, it hurts families."
What's untrue about that statement?  If you were a woman and were doing the same work as a man and he was being paid 30% more than you, (23/77*100 for the math challenged),  wouldn't you consider it unfair?
 He didn't say all women are being paid 77 cents as compared to men for the same work, he referenced those women who are being paid at that discriminatory rate. Don't tell me you think women aren't worth the same pay as men for the same work.
Please try to keep your bias out of ratings. It's clear to me that the AJC has moved far to the right. The AJC Politifact is supposed to be seeking the truth. There is no room for bias in there.
