evidence: According to Aaron Sharockman, Politifact’s executive director, his fact-checker didn’t have a problem with any of the many statistics in the ad about the coronavirus death toll or unemployment numbers. Instead, Politifact zeroed in on one sentence: "Donald Trump bailed out Wall Street but not Main Street." To many (like me) this may seem like an opinion, whose worth depends on data. The Lincoln Project provided a number of sources, including Bloomberg, NBC, Vanity Fair, and even the New York Post, where a Fox Business News reporter wrote in an op-ed, "Wall Street traders will make money, while Main Street businesses face economic conditions not seen since the Great Depression." But Politifact chose an absolutist interpretation. Because the Cares Act passed by Congress and signed by Trump did some things for Main Street, it reasoned, in effect Trump had indeed bailed out mainstream America. "Most people who argue seem to suggest that maybe Trump has bailed out Wall Street more than Main Street," says Sharockman. "But that's not what the ad said. So I feel real good about the rating as calling it false."
