PunditFact

It's a mix. I think some people do make honest mistakes. A good example is when politicians and pundits confuse the debt and deficit. They do it all the time. On TV ads it's another matter. We know campaigns attempt to take a shred of truth and distort it in the worst possible way to make their opponents look. We've heard of cases where campaigns don't even care if they're claims are rated "Mostly False," so long as it isn't the dreaded "Pants on Fire." -- Aaron

Yes, a scrollbar with very discreet cough mostly false cough or flames blazing at the bottom to alert a PANTS ON FIRE just occurred. Lol. / Katie

Not really. Campaigns can get pressured into taking an ad down, but they're not obligated to, as far as I know. -- Aaron

Probably a long time -- sadly. Candidates, for some reason, don't like being told that something they said is inaccurate. -- Aaron

We are REAL close. This is Jon and I'm in DC. Next to me is Steve. Behind me is Lou. Becky's here and Angie has her own office. We talk all the time and all of us came out of PolitiFact. The main difference is the people we check. They deal with the elected leaders. We deal with the unelected.
