Sometimes, I do feel somewhat alone here on this blog, trying to seek out the truth and facts from the lies and spin. So it is a blessed relief to find that I have some support out there from websites like politifact.com and factcheck.org.
PolitiFact is the home of the Truth-o-meter, as seen on CNN International’s Political Mann. It comes from the St Petersberg Times from St Petersburg, Tampa Bay, Florida. They fact check statements that come out of the mouths of politicians, lobbyists, pressure groups, and the propoganda that gets sent out in leaflets and chain e-mails.
FactCheck comes from the Annenberg Public Policy Centre of the University Of Pennsylvania. The centre is funded by The Annenberg Foundation, who are also a co-funder of the PBS programme “Washington Week”.
Please visit the above links, as we all together will work towards keeping the politicians honest.
