FactChecking Debate No. 1

I was able to watch a few minutes of the debate, but not enough to really get a feel for how it went for either candidate.

FactCheck.org followed up on the debate to see how honest each was with their claims and accusations:

I really like Fact Check. I reviewed their findings and it is interesting to see how both candidates miss use information and skew it to bolster their positions.

They sure love to tell half truths or quote each other out of context, or add a little of their own info to existing info make it appear different than it would otherwise.

Some of their statements are more damaging than others, in my opinion, depending on how the info was skewed and what it was about.

Fact check sure is a helpful tool in deciphering all their claims and statements.
