Facts, the Truth, and Annenberg's Factcheck.org

From the film 12 Monkeys: "There is no truth, there is only public opinion!"

McCain and the Fact-Checking Fallacy by Byron York on National Review Online:
"The point of all this is that factchecking reports begin with an analysis of details but end with the factchecker’s opinion of what an ad or speech “implies” or what “impression” it leaves. And that takes the fact-checkers away from the realm of fact."
