The first rule of advertising is “Advertise your weakest point”. Hence, we have names like “Fact Check”, “Fairness Doctrine”, “Progressive”, “Hope”.

Well, that’s a shame if it was taken over by leftists. The founder, Walter H. Annenberg, was Ambassador to Great Britain during the Nixon administration. And according to Wikipedia: “the Reagans often celebrated New Year’s Eve with the Annenbergs.” So, it must have been Republican or at least impartial to start with. It would be interesting to know how the left-wingers took it over.

The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind FastCheck.org, is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2 million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge “philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms.

Whoa! No wonder they have been getting their facts wrong in this election. When will this be aired on CNN?

Great Rudy Giuliani video! He nails it.

SOME HIGH PROFILE PERSON LIKE RUDY NEEDS TO SAY “OBAMA IS A TROJAN HORSE” - he has concealed his true politics so cleverly with his phony rhetoric, but once in power, his Marxists cronies will become entrenched in our country like a cancer.

Just because an organization CALLS themselves FactCheck (or RealityCheck, etc.) doesn’t mean they are honestly checking the facts.

Wasn't it Ayn Rand who said that whoever controls language controls minds?

Could not the same be applied to whoever controls "facts" as an ostensibly neutral arbiter of truth? Just the thoughts of a dumb guy.

Factcheck spread lies about the Swift Boat Veterans during the last campaign. Here's an old FR thread about that.
One of their two researchers, Seth Goldman, worked "at Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's campaign committee."

Here's some information on Brooks Jackson, the Director of Annenberg Political Fact Check

Brooks Jackson is a journalist who covered Washington and national politics for 32 years, reporting in turn for The Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal and CNN. At CNN he pioneered the "adwatch" and "factcheck" form of stories debunking false and misleading political statements starting with the Presidential election of 1992. His investigative reporting for The AP and the Journal won several national awards. He is the author of two books: Honest Graft: Big Money and the American Political Process (Knopf, 1988) and Broken Promise: Why the Federal Election Commission Failed (Twentieth Century Fund: 1990).

Yes, the left has a conscience. It can be reached through (1) sex (2) sex (3) sex (4) drugs. Notice I did not include music, since that’s the same as sex.

It is obvious that FackChecked or FackCheck is biased. I figured that out the first time I went to their site and of course never went back to the site again.
