Okay, so like most people I know I have a clear political affiliation. While I don't always go gaga over the candidate that is selected by my party, I almost invariably vote for that candidate. With this election I've been trying to be more open minded and have been trying to pay more attention to the other side, their views, their reasons etc. With perspective I started realizing for the first time the degree of bias in the radio station that I usually listen to for political news. That's when I got online. Now I'm addicted to a new source of information about the campaign this presidential election cycle.
http://www.factcheck.org/
This is a non-partisan foundation set up with the sole purpose of checking the facts put out by American politicans so that average people like me can have some sense of what is really true and what isn't. I've also been checking this site:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/
However, being a company it is likely to be biased. What I like about it is that is provides me with some counter-point to factcheck.org. Anyway I hope this is interesting to others too.
