FactCheck.Org
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.
