FactCheck.org vs. Media Fund & THE BUSH FACTS – A Partisan Fraud Exposed

[BushLicks]

AN OPEN LETTER TO:

FactCheck.org,

Your August 11 article, “Media Fund Ad Misquotes Bush,” has been proven to be a partisan fabrication.

In fact, the Media Fund ad referenced DOES NOT EVEN ATTRIBUTE ANY QUOTES TO BUSH, proving that your article is a fraud from the title line down.

Do you people really need to have somebody explain to you what a “quote” is?

On top of that, in this same article, you prove the claims about Bush and outsourcing to be correct. By indicating that Bush has, in context, openly expressed opposition to changing to the tax code which -- as a matter of FACT -- currently provides outsourcing incentives, FactCheck.org has shown that the quote, “he's going to help companies outsource,” is spot-on accurate.

(PLEASE NOTE: In order for the people at FactCheck.org to understand the above paragraph, they will first have to invest in a dictionary and look up the word “quote.”)

Conclusion: FactCheck.org has proven itself to be an incompetent, dishonest fraud.

Well done.

1. There is no doubt that factcheck is a Republican front

Thank you for posting this. Some additional supporting facts:

Look at Factcheck's conclusion in the SmearVets for Bush case:

At this point, 35 years later and half a world away, we see no way to resolve which of these versions of reality is closer to the truth.

By the way, they also give Bush a pass on being AWOL, failing to examine the question of whether he showed up, and repeating the Bush campaign spin "he was credited". New Evidence Supports Bush Military Service (Mostly)

2. I'm still waiting for a response to my "Swiftboat Vets" complaint.

In FactCheck's infancy, Mr. Jackson was quite happy to answer my e-mails. Funny, he hasn't gotten around to this one:

"At this point, 35 years later and half a world away, we see no way to
resolve which of these versions of reality is closer to the truth."

Then what, exactly, is your purpose? I have given FactCheck the benefit of
the doubt in the past, but no longer. There are other, far more long-lived
and apparently less biased, organizations performing the same function.

Ed Gillespie's slip-up, even if it was a mistake, is just too
telling--particuarly your contention that the response PROVES you aren't
biased. It does nothing of the sort, it just proves that you are just as
capable of covering your own posterior region as anyone.

I shall get my facts from other sources--Snopes may not be elegant, but she
does a fine job of doing what you want to do, but have failed.

This isn't the first time I have pointed out some sneaky bias, but it will
be the last. I am unsubscribing.

WE NEED TO EXPOSE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND SHUT THEM DOWN.

4. I've done that too

right from the beginning, I've been emailing them politely about various things, and they've responded.

At this point, they seem to close to dropping their pretenses, and just devoting themselves to debunking Kerry.

3. appropriately harsh

FactCheck.org is one of the more despicable pro-Bush blogs, since it very deliberately and premeditatedly hides its partisanship behind its lofty statement of its mission. :mad:

5. How abut CapitolHillBlue.com?

Why would they reprint this garbage?

6. at least CHB doesn't pretend to be serious

let alone non-partisan. FactCheck is just a pretentious cousin of CHB.
