Looking Out From the Garage: Politifact

Politifact

I ran across an interesting site... I don't know how... that might be of interest.

Politifact.com

It attempts to gauge the comments for and about various political candidates factually and without spin. I found that it was fair... but less than perfect. Kind like a political Snopes. However, from the limited looking I did at the ratings, they seem to be inaccurate on both sides, and don't seem to be trying to give anyone a pass.

Where they seem to fall down is with definitions. In some cases, they slice the definition pretty thin and call a statement true or not based on that. In other cases, they seem to let things slide a bit more.

But, at least they have a catchy tune...

 
This is a higher def player than YouTube, so you might need to pause it for a moment to let it load... it needed a pretty fat pipe when I played it earlier.

Hi Lane, thanks for the upload notice on your other post.  Cute...that was a fun event to watch as well I am sure.  This post is perplexing it says "Gimme the Truth" and is using politicians in the same sentence!  Another nice post Lane.

Gary - Thanks.  Sorry for the late video on the other one.  I didn't see one posted on the Thrasher's site until I had already posted the story.  Yea, truth and politicians are a hard mix.  This site is busting all of them for telling less than the truth.
