Some facts adrift in veep debate - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081003/ap_on_el_pr/debate_fact_check)

Fact checking on Biden and Palin's debate

I love this new surge of fact checking. Of course its always been around, sometimes in the dark hidden corners of the internet, or the consciousness, but for the first time in a long while, im glad it is back front and center.

Lets keep it up. As long as we do this, the future for the US looks good~ :happy:

I very much love it. Unfortunately, it has another requirement - people to actually make decisions based on this. Being faced with contrary information can actually make people more resistant to changing, unfortunately.

Still, an excellent step forward and is the right approach. The world is changing, for sure and I think it'll make a big difference in the long run (I kind rambled on about this a long while back in my blog...

You're supposed to write where it was moved from. Since, everyone knows where it's moved to.

That's great, if you actually trust the people checking the facts.
