"Fact checking" sites
An interesting article from NPR. Basically, most people prefer the sites that are clearly partisan to those which purport to be nonpartisan. I suppose there would be two things driving this. (1) We all like to hear our views reinforced. (2) You're probably more likely to approximate the truth by reading avowedly partisan views of both sides. The supposedly nonpartisan fact check sites may tend to be too much like the MSM, objective only in their own eyes, as the battle over the NRA TV ads indicates.

Just how does Congress legitimately go about violating the "exclusive legislation in all Cases whatsoever" clause of Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 17? Delegation violates exclusivity. Taken on it words, paragraph 17 states all laws passed by the DC Council are null and void since they were passed unconstitutionally. Only Congress may legislate in the District, even if Congress does want to do the job.

A bunch of lying Liberals. Its the drugs talking. Plus the presence of the Annenberg Foundation makes it suspect by their underlying agenda.
