An Interesting Website To Spend Some Time With
 

Here's a website that distills a lot of the political rhetoric from both sides down to the salient facts. Politifact.com won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for national political reporting. Visit the website at...

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter

You'll have some fun and be surprised by some of the facts found to either support or deny statements made by politicians on both sides of the aisle. I love the occasional finding of "liar-liar, pants on fire" instead of the simple true or false assigned to most of the statements.

Great site for sure...thanks for the link !!!

I spent a few minutes just perusing and what really jumped out at me is...

They ALL lie !!!

That is one of the better sites I have frequented.
 

I like the style of the web site and the light but serious approach to the subject matter.

Thanx for sharing it.

Good information, Villages Kahuna. Too bad there is not one like this for Andrew Blechman's Leisureville.

Another take on this website.....

"Journalistic bias is one thing, but journalistic arrogance is quite another.

When reporters claiming to be neutral political fact-checkers go beyond mere reporting to state with absolute certainty things they cannot possibly know, they run the risk of churning out political opinion masquerading as high-minded investigative journalism.

This is exactly what the reporters at the fact-checking operation PolitiFact.com sometimes do. A project of the St. Petersburg Times, the website's "Truth-O-Meter" purports to check and rate "the accuracy of statements by candidates, elected officials, political parties, interest groups, pundits, talk show hosts."

"It sounds very Woodward and Bernstein with some hip Internet-savvy irreverence thrown in, doesn't it?

That's what I thought before I looked into the matter.

It turns out that those who serve the Truth-O-Meter often have strange ideas about what constitutes truth."
