Most political discussion isn't precise enough to produce a yes/no, and often claims are being made about nebulous stuff like the future, morality, the thoughts and intentions of others. Or, for example, one may display a direct quote from someone without mentioning if they are being paid to spread certain views. The quote may be accurate, but presented in a context that makes it prejudicial. It isn't uncommon to read article of pure rumor and innuendo -- so if something is presented as a rumor do you classify it as "true", because it is true that there is a rumor, or false, because the speaker can't verify the rumor? And then if you mark that false, is all speculation marked false?

For example, I would personally mark any article false if it included any statements on the goals and mindset of Vladimir Putin, unless the author was Vladimir Putin. There are people who probably can't even tell why their wife is upset with them guessing the mindset of a foreign career intelligence officer, politician and tyrant from thousands of miles away.

But often you see completely bogus facts going around. It would already be good to get rid of those.
