About FactCheck.org
Our Mission

We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit "consumer advocate" for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor 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. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.

The Annenberg Political Fact Check is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg in 1994 to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels.

The APPC accepts NO funding from business corporations, labor unions, political parties, lobbying organizations or individuals. It is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.

The website you are quoting has the names of known right wing (or Republican) supporters. It's actual name is "Conservative Issues, Republican Politics, News, Presidential Candidates, Campaigns, Town Hall Debates, Iraq War, Blogs, Political Cartoons ... " This does not give it any credibility whatsoever as a non-partisan site and a source of FACTS not innuendo.

Not to mention that the date on your article is April 17th and the date on the one I posted is October 10. Just maybe it's a bit more up to date.

Well, Kathleen, I just found out that the Annenberg Foundation had Obama on their board for many years and he disbursed 60 million dollars of their funds every year. That is a conflict of interest.
