I was completely unaware of the existence of this organization. Seth Goldman has brought them world-wide attention and destroyed their reputation all in one ill-conceived hit-piece. The next time I see something from them I will giggle first, assume that the opposite of the headline is true and read it later. Claiming to apply standards of scholarship, they instead apply all of the doctrines of the best liberal journalistic tradition.

From the FactCheck mission statement:

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.

Folks might also contact the Annenberg foundation directly.
