Yay! FactCheck.org has released their report on last night's final presidential debate. Highlights include:
Obama and the ACORN "Controversy": It turns out the fabric of space, time and our democracy will not be threatened by this voter registration fraud as a Republican judge has stated that the fraud has nothing to do with allowing illegal voting.
JTP (Joe The Plumber): It turns out he'll be getting a tax cut if he buys the company he works for.
Obama's Health Care: Obama overstated the power of his health care package to lower premiums. (So much for health care being a right!)
McCain on Obama's Health Care: He's wrong and claims Obama's plan is something it isn't (there's that pesky Straw Man Argument again).
Obama on McCain's Negative Ads: Turns out McCain's ads were 100% negative during one recent week, only. (Still, it's the thought that counts in my mind!) Oh and at times Obama has run a higher percentage of attack ads (are those the same as negative ads?).
McCain on Columbia: Apparently Canada imports way more agricultural products from America than Columbia does (McCain claimed Columbia was #1).
Obama as Maverick: Turns out Obama has voted with his party 97% of the time. Yeah... ouch. We indy-types don't like that. SIGH.
For PLENTY more, head over to FactCheck.org or just go here: http://www.factcheck.org/…_no_3.html
If only all reporters and news orgs could be as fact-oriented as these guys. I think we'd be in much better shape as a country.
