It absolutely does and being dishonest instead of explaining why is a bad move.
Again, she came out after the fact to rationalize it. Facebook is taking the same exact stance that a lot of other media companies do and not trying to play politics by fact checking ads. The reason they WOULD address hers is because she's making a claim about them. Facebook has no obligation to defend Joe Biden nor should they if no other media outlet like them does.
I've said it before, I'll reiterate; if Warren is the nominee then Trump wins again in 2020. Not only due to the above but her policy positions are rather extreme. Consider this as you choose, but it appears that even major Dem donors will sit this one out, or even assist Trump, if Warren gets the nod.

However bfine throwing out Warren's "dishonesty" gets no traction with me because of his defenses of Trump's lies. He can address this ad and whether it is effective (or even a good idea) like you did if he chooses to.
An odd position. You should either be against dishonesty or not. Dismissing bfine's accurate assessment of Warren because you find his Trump assessment equally inaccurate strikes one as rather contradictory.
