FactcheckED: Freepers Outraged That Facts Have Liberal Bias!
"I have emailed them, at least, twenty times to protest their "bend" and out of context bs."

"This is disturbing"

"That’s funny... Consensus is not evidence. I think I’ll add that to my tagline."

"Looks like just another biased, lefty site. Since they mention they are non-partisan, you can bet they are."

"Wasn’t there a CONSENSUS that the WORLD IS FLAT?"

"The problem, however, is that the argument leaves out an important bit of information, namely that the overwhelming consensus in the scientific community is that global warming is being caused by humans.

This example, in turn, leaves out the critical bit of information that science does not rely on consensus to validate a proposition!

Facts are not determined with a popularity contest."

"In other words, your self-described 'important bit of information' is, in reality, entirely irrelevant!"

1. Are they talking about Factcheck.org?
The site that Cheney meant to cite during the 2004 debate, but erroneously said Factcheck.com?

3. OMG, you're right, that was so funny!!
I forgot all about that! To tell you the truth I always suspected factcheck.org of being WAAAAAY conservative in what they include to "check." However any truth at all is hard for the freeeps!

Apparently they have a new site that is geered toward students, that one has the "ED" at the end.
