Neither side can dispute Factcheck.org because its absolutely unbiased. I believe it was founded with the directive that it could never take a viewpoint and would be a debate settling instrument.
Funny how you rarely see either the left or the right cite to it.
I predict two things will happen if people start using Factcheck.org here. The right will cobble together nonsense articles from Newsmax.com (Richard Mellon Scaithe's blog, basically) claiming that Factcheck is left leaning. The left will claim Factcheck's stats are incomplete, and cite some piles of rubbish criticism as support for that position.

I posted the link before I read the article, so I didn't know which side could claim triumph from it. I think neither. There are nuggets in there for all, although probably more for those who think Rove was inappropriately involved.
