Neither Party is big on fact checking. Having belonged to one party my whole life, they both disgust me in their tactics. I hope to see a third party in my lifetime with more than a snowball's chance to succeed.

False equivalence.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

If I was a protagonist for one of the parties, stacking the deck of fact checkers and fact check manipulations in general would be high on my list of priorities.

I only trust Andy for true objectivities.

Agreed. They're all liars, but this reeks of the anti-intellectualism that has infected the Republican party.

Given the complexity of so many modern issues it is nice to see that a group of politicians have decided to offer their point of view, independent of what passes for Convention wisdom.

Anti-Intellectual? More like anti-Sophistry.
