[QUOTE]And yet, Adair just refused to answer the question of why his organization overwhelmingly finds Republican statements false. It's not just the George Mason study, either. Again, the University of Minnesota analyzed "more than 500 PolitiFact stories from January 2010 through January 2011 finds that current and former Republican officeholders have been assigned substantially harsher grades by the news organization than their Democratic counterparts. In total, 74 of the 98 statements by political figures judged 'false' or 'pants on fire' over the last 13 months were given to Republicans, or 76 percent, compared to just 22 statements for Democrats (22 percent)."{/QUOTE]

Only Fact Check, Never Explain | The Weekly Standard

A very good article indeed, and it says what I have known for quite a while, the fact checkers lean decidedly left and can't be trusted to tell the truth.

Maybe Republicans are just more dishonest or prone to distortion..

Seriously though,I would love to see a conservative fact checking service posted here in this forum. I'm sure some bias exists on both sides but I would like to see the same claims and statements fact checked side by side by more than just one fact checking service. Truth without bias is always welcome but it's such a rare commodity that I fear there would never be agreement from the left or the right for each would say that the other side was biased.

As with any political commentary,Caveat emptor should be the first thing on the readers mind.

I don't think there are any conservative fact checking site. At least I don't know any.

Hey, A business opportunity........
