Hey, I found a great new website!
http://www.factcheck.org/
It is a a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
Here's what they say about themselves on their website (this is a direct quote:
"We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit, 'consumer advocate' for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews, and news releases. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding."
All I can say to that is "AMEN"
In these trying times of attack politics, where the "wars" consist of thirty second attack ads and 10 second sound bytes, it's good to know that there is a source out there that tries to cut through all the B.S. and present the facts
That's all for today. More tomorrow
