factchecking the debate

too bad that they don't have someone right there to blow a horn when someone says something incorrect.

You would need an orchestra of trumpets to keep up with the b/s:D...but it was fun watching...

How interesting that this is the one thing from the article that you fastened upon...



http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...-watch-planne/

that's from politifact, that rates fiorinas claim as mostly false.
this article discusses her claims, and what all they found, including that pp has no such video. no one has such a video showing what she claimed.

The "Center for Medical Progress"'s truthfulness is right up there with PETA's horse racing "sting" video. Yeesh. How people can be so incredibly dumb as to think that hearing a voiceover during footage means that's the actual scenario the person is describing is mind boggling (let alone "someone said they saw it happen, therefore it happened"). Seriously, "stock footage" people. Look it up.

Speaking of poor uses of stock footage:

It's the vaccine part that really got my goat. Shame on them.

Q: Does Planned Parenthood harvest organs from live fetuses?

I have no idea

No joke. Especially doctors who should know better.

A 'good' Trump story..Got this from a friend..

The first polio vaccine was developed using fetal liver tissue.

Rubella vaccine
Chicken pox vaccine
Shingles vaccine

All developed using fetal tissue. Which is strictly regulated by the government. No clinic is making money off of tissue. They may charge to recoup the costs of processing and transport, which is why the amounts quoted in the "sting" videos for tissue were $30-$100.

Studies now are on whether it can be used to treat retinitis pigmentosa, which causes blindness. It's gradually being supplanted by stem cells, but is still useful in many areas of research.

So what, everybody knows that:p


Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event..

Saw the house voted to defund pp. Ridiculous. But, hey, who cares, its mostly women getting affected.

Another government shut down looming...let the blame game start. Science will save humanity, unless overwhelmed by religious fanatics.

I hope science and knowledge wins out....and then I think of the barbarians and the great library.

Some people say why are countries beginning to out pace us....don't we lead industrial nations insofar as religion??

The game is rigged, even for the Donald: How the GOP can block his nomination.

fact check on the democratic debate....

What are the other 2/3 deaths from?

dunno..accidental discharge? suicide? thought someone was a deer, self defense?

Ok, sounds about right...but aren't all those "gun violence"?

i'm not thinking it would be considered gun 'violence' if you were cleaning your gun and it went off and shot you.

I think the numbers are also hard to count because local law enforcement has a lot of latitude on whether to declare a gun death a homicide or not. A child shooting his sibling can be called an "accidental death" rather than an "accidental homicide."

(Note: homicide doesn't mean deliberate; it just means killing of a person by another person.)

True...

Really? I seem to get "corrected" all the time.

I didn't know you were a candidate.

Jeb bush talking about fantasy football.....truly, I think that moment encapsulated all his issues as a candidate.

What’s the bottom line? FactCheck.org is a LEFT-BIASED organization that has sold itself as “Politically NEUTRAL” to America’s voters and media personnel.

The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind FastCheck.org, is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2 million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge “philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms.

Does the LEFT have no conscience at all?

Jeb Bush Should Become a Democrat

Entertaining read.

i think his fundemental problem is....well, himself.
he seems less than able to put together coherent sentences. it takes him two weeks and multiple attempts to answer a question. he says stupid stuff. he seems wimpy. he rightly attempted to chastise rubio last night, and ended up looking like a whipped puppy when he was done. he says he's not there to perform, but yes, that's what required. performance...which is what he asked for from rubio, and then stood there and took a tongue lashing for bringing it up. he's not the 'smart' bush. he's just a bush.
he may we able to outlast some of the other people running, but i think he's only damaging himself more while he babbles to whoever will listen.

http://www.politifact.com/

they were talking this morning on morning joe about how bad the cnbc moderators were. some entertaining info-such as mentioning trump bashing zuckerberg, but when he said i never attacked zuckerberg, the moderator dropped it--and it was on trumps own site that he had done that.
rubio and his foreclosed house, etc that they asked him about, and he brushed them off and said that was all made up stuff-no, it's all true.
just amazing stuff.

:rolleyes:

FactCheck.org’s reliability is due in part to its somewhat inconvenient yet also wise refusal to assign simple ratings along a continuous spectrum: it does not summarily declare statements “True” or “False,” but instead provides detailed analysis explaining their incorrectness or incompleteness and lets the reader reach his or her own conclusion.

Critics from all sides have pointed out the bias and editorial nature of some of PolitiFact’s and Kessler’s purportedly objective verdicts.


from all sides...interesting.

and how ironic, free republic making accusations of bias.
if you look backward in this thread, you'll find their (and politifacts) take on the dem debate.

one other thing.....i know some like to 'shoot the messenger' so as to attempt to ignore the message. but, in disparaging that particular messenger (factcheck.org) did you read their debate write up? were they wrong on any of it?

I get the real facts from Faux News :zz:...unfair and unbalanced:p

I knew huckster was a charlatan snake oil salesman... So is Carson.

It's only biased when you disagree? :D

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/rnc-suspe...bc-news-debate


so, complaints that three hours is too long, and now complaints about 'gotcha' questions.

um...these candidates do realize that they're trying to get a job that is 24/7, and is nothing but gotcha moments, right?
ridiculous.

Someone maybe oughta tell the AP that editorializing a Republican debate with nothing except Obama's blatantly misleading and laughably hole-filled talking points is not, in fact, "Fact Checking".

Lazy drivel, more aptly.
