We took a couple weeks off but back again is FactCheck Friday. This installment tackles some misinformation and "fuzzy" math. As always they do a great job of sorting it out. As the election gets near it is important to know where to get good and accurate information. From WikipediaFactCheck.org is a nonprofit website[1] that describes its own goal as "[reducing] the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics". In its efforts, FactCheck claims to be nonpartisan.[2] It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.[2]
Most of its content consists of rebuttals to allegedly inaccurate, misleading, or false claims by politicians. FactCheck has also targeted the misleading claims from various partisan groups.
