It has come to my attention that we are constantly being fed BAD information and disinformation by the media and numerous websites. One of them being, http://www.factcheck.org. People really NEED to be cautious what they read or believe nowadays.

It is owned by the Annenberg corporation and Barack Obama was a founding member, chairman, and president of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was also funded by the Annenberg Foundation.

In wiki, they do state this:

Quote
The president and chairwoman of the foundation, Leonore Annenberg, born in 1918, has endorsed John McCain in the 2008 presidential election. [5]

But what I see is that the organization (or the researchers & writers) appears to be leaning towards Obama just by the tone and shape of their articles.

someone here did a parody of the CNN fact checking site.   I cant remember the details, but there were questions like is Obama truly the anointed one and answers like not really, as that would require him to take a shower in olive oil, which he has so far refused to do.
