The Annenberg Political Fact Check is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, "consumer
advocate" site for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and
confusion in U.S. politics. They 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.
PolitiFact is a project operated by the St. Petersburg Times, a project in
which its reporters and editors fact-check statements by members of
Congress, the White House, lobbyists and interest groups. They publish
original statements and their evaluations on the website and assign a
"Truth-O-Meter' rating.
This site addresses common fallacies, misinformation, old wives' tales,
strange news stories, rumors, celebrity gossip and similar items. The site is
operated by David and Barbara Mikkelson, a California couple who don't
expect anyone to accept them as the ultimate authority on any topic, which
is why their site's name indicates that it contains reference pages.
