Politifact Virginia

I think I like this thing.  At least the Virginia version.

* About Politifact Virginia:

"PolitiFact Virginia is a partnership of the Richmond Times-Dispatch and PolitiFact.com, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site of the St. Petersburg Times, to help you find the truth in politics.

"Every day, reporters and researchers from the Times-Dispatch examine statements by Virginia elected officials and candidates and anyone else who speaks up on matters of public importance. We research their statements and then rate the accuracy on our Truth-O-Meter – True, Mostly True, Half True, Barely True and False. The most ridiculous falsehoods get our lowest rating, Pants on Fire."

So you agree with their analysis that the health care bill is not the massive job killing bill that it is being portrayed as by the republicans?

Jerry,

You might want to check Politi-"fact" a little more closely. Very partisan. Uses its own interpretation of the facts...

Used to go PolitFact regularly, Jerry until I caught them in a few whoppers. Maybe the Richmond Times-Dispatch will be more accurate. Pulitzer's ain't what they used to be.
