Seems to be a reliable source, or it wouldn't be so widely quoted or so widely respected. It's actually a story if it gets something wrong... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politifact-is-wrong-cruz-i...

One can be correct and biased at the same time.

One can be correct and have an opinion at the same time. They're not the same thing.

Even if you don't agree with an opinion, that doesn't make it wrong. You may be even more biased the other way.

If you are not correct, then your opinion is not worth very much. See: birthers, anti-vaxxers, chemtrails, intelligent design, faked moon landing conspiracists etc.
