Fact Checking the presidential campaigns...

I enjoy stopping by the Annenberg Political Fact Check website. One thing it clearly shows is that both parties, campaigns and their supports play loose with the facts.

Recent examples, ALF-CIO falsely attacks McCain.

McCain's small business bunk.

Obama Straining a point.

Vets For Freedom make questionable quotes.

I also really recommend this article, That Chain E-mail Your Friend Sent to You Is (Likely) Bogus. Seriously.

It raises some interesting points, including the rise in use of such email rumors/smears which I believe is more prevalent because more and more people are online now than before.
