With the November elections fast approaching, you may want to check out a website from the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. Referred to as the Annenberg Political FactCheck, this site "monitors 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". Politicians' claims and statements are analyzed and individuals can browse by date or search by keyword to access the last four years of the archives. An analysis of whether the stimulus legislation actually created new jobs was recently published. The Republican "Pledge to America" was also dissected last month. Interesting reading!!
