Claim vs Fact DB
Posted on April 30, 2004
The Center for American Progress today launched a comprehensive Claim vs. Fact database www.claimvfact.org that documents statements from conservatives like
President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Members of Congress and Fox News
personalities, and compares those statements to the facts. Each fact is
sourced, and in many cases includes a web link directly to that source.
A personal favourite of mine from the database, with video to back it up.
