FactCheck.org

FactCheck.org is a project of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center and the recipient of the 2009  ”People’s Voice” Webby Award. The nonpartisan/nonprofit organization’s goal is to reduce “the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.” In other words, it gets rid of the bull and gives you actual facts and figures. The day I visited, FactCheck cut through distortions by Democrats and Republicans regarding proposed healthcare reforms and Virginia’s gubernatorial candidates.

I very much appreciate WriteDirections in assembling this Website, particularly for including such valuable resources as FactCheck.org.

I take advantage of your terrific blog info often, and have used it in my research and writings. My non-fiction revelation, “America’s Dumbest Doctors” was thoroughly researched prior to publication (September 25, 2009) and I have WriteDirection – among a precious few others – to thank.

Please do keep up the super work, and have a great summer.
