It's kind of funny they have a truth squad. Isn't that what journalism is supposed to be, digging for the truth?

They should call it the "journalism squad". Ha, that would be amazing

It needs to be said... we live in a post-fact society. It doesn't matter whether Obama knows Ayers, spent time with him, or participated in the terrorist acts or whatever. What matters is the attacks perpetrated by the McCain campaign which gives their supporters enough ire, talking points, energy, whathaveyou to continue their mindless support and carry on with the jingoism. Again -- doesn't matter whether the allegations are "true." What matters is the influence that the allegations have on the population.. a population who sadly doesn't ever question what is presented them.

^ I don't think we live in a post-fact society. I think we live in a society that has been treated by its leaders as gullible and ignorant.

They were right in 2000 and 2004.

We'll see in 2008 if facts are dead, or just took a vacation for a decade.

That sounds about right. I treat my cat like a cat.
