Lately, the MSM has been promoting FactCheck.org as some sort of objective referee for the Obama care program.


Here's a real "fact check" for ya....FactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Foundation.....and Obama worked on Annenberg projects with Marxist terrorist Bill Ayers.

They are soooo slick. Every once in a while they'll refute a minor Obama statement so they can have a facade of "objectivity:"

Maybe 60 Minutes should do a piece on this phony org? :rolleyes:

Yeah I always laugh when someone sends me a factcheck link thinking that it proves anything. I consider wikipedia to be a more reliable source and wikipedia is not a reliable source.

The Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) was a Chicago public school reform project from 1995 to 2001 that worked with half of Chicago's public schools and was funded by a $49.2 million, 2-to-1 matching challenge grant over five years from the Annenberg Foundation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annenberg_Foundation). The grant was contingent on being matched by $49.2 million in private donations and $49.2 million in public money. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was one of 18 locally designed Annenberg Challenge project sites that received $387 million over five years as part of Walter Annenberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Annenberg)'s gift of $500 million over five years to support public school reform. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge helped create a successor organization, the Chicago Public Education Fund (CPEF), committing $2 million in June 1998 as the first donor to Chicago's first community foundation for education.

Your point?

Maybe the war would've ended sooner if most of the people who opposed it early on weren't radical communists who frightened the general population.
