Checking the facts of this political season with FactCheck.org
ListenHour 2
Election Day is more than three months away and the presidential race is devolving into the sort of campaign silliness that leads to bitter and trivial debate while failing to inform the public. Today on Radio Times, we talk with the monitors of factual accuracy from FactCheck.org to find out if the candidates and their surrogates have been less than truthful. We’ll also find out which campaign promises simply can’t be kept and learn how fact-checkers sift through all that information to get to the truth. Joining us are FactCheck.org’s Deputy Director EUGENE KIELY and Managing Editor LORI ROBERTSON.
