Our Mission
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.
The Annenberg Political Fact Check is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg in 1994 to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state, and federal levels.
The APPC accepts NO funding from business corporations, labor unions, political parties, lobbying organizations or individuals. It is funded primarily by an endowment from the Annenberg Foundation.

What do you think from reading their bios?
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell .. they sure do seem to defend Kerry alot in their "fact checking"
Sooooooooooooo .. if I was to guess?? .. I wouldn't say they are fair and balance
*Smooch*
I've been sending my sister a lot of great info, sent her several stories the good blogs have unearthed as they happened in real time.......the ones that have scorched the old media, and I think she's smarting from the drubbing.
So she's sent me some of this factcheck stuff in return lately....honestly, stuff I couldn't check real easily. Judging from the bios, they are typical cocooned liberals that eat speak and sleep with other liberals all the time and couldn't check a fact without oozing the bias of their lives.
Shameful, simply shameful....
:-)
And no, I'm not going to play in the mailbox.
It's that time again..Goodnight yall...
.....Westy.....
Yes, indeed, before we had chat rooms on FR. Just ask JimRob and he can tell you all about it, dear.
That looks like a fire in the background!
Good night westy
Sleep tight.
And the thought process of Kerry is absolutely scary. Bush may screw up words, but at least you know what his is saying
The difference between him and Bush are .. whether you like it or not .. Bush makes a stance and sticks to it .. Kerry morphs into different people at different times, depending on the crowd he is speaking to
Bottom line .. do you want a President you can trust .. or do you want a President who will lead according to what the polls say?
Mike was telling me the guys at work .. who are Dems are going to vote for Bush .. their reason is .. at least you know what you're getting with Bush .. you don't know with Kerry
