FactCheck.org: Distortions Galore at Second Presidential Debate

Have you noticed how the traditional media have jumped on the factcheking bandwagon? It's awesome.

As always, FactCheck.org, suddenly in the spotlight after Cheney's attempt to cite it in his debate with John Edwards, has factchecked the statements of both candidates from last night's debate:

From FactCheck.org:

"Both candidates played loose with the facts at the second Presidential Debate in St. Louis on Oct. 8. Bush claimed Kerry's health-care plan would lead to rationing and 'ruin the quality of health care in America,' a claim unsupported by neutral experts. Kerry claimed the Bush administration had forced the Army Chief of Staff to retire for pushing to send more troops to Iraq, but in fact he retired on schedule."

And there's a lot more than that. Read their complete report here.
