For those of you following the U.S. presidential election….

…you will want to keep tabs on FactCheck.org. It is 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.”

Both sides from time to time will stretch the truth and distort the facts. FactCheck.org should help you assess that.
