Great article, shows how the same elements can tell a completely different story. More depth and insight than others on Ayers. Turnabout fair play?

An article refuting a McCain Web attack ad on Obama/Ayers. This piece is especially informative as it points out that many people may now have their reputations questioned because they were involved in a foundation this ad mentions. The post ends up calling the ad a "pants on fire" lie. Here is another post on the Obama/Ayers connection: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/02/obamas_weatherman_connection.html

Articles debunking claims of sinister relationships between Obama and Ayers dutifully follow each false claim. This one, however, is unusually detailed and irate. It labels a recent McCain add as malicious -- not just because of lies about Obama but because of a long list of prominent Americans who assisted or served on the Board of the Annenberg Challenge and therefore also stand unjustly accused.

It meets the "watchdog" criteria for public service journalism. PolitiFact.com is an exemplary project that does for citizens what we cannot always do for ourselves, find out the truth behind political claims.

Over 10 sources were used to fact-check the statement. Not only did they debunk the statement they indicated it was malicious and unfair. What would be fair would be for this article to receive as much coverage as the lie.

A straight attempt to justify Obama's association with Ayers. The civic big shots are easily manipulated and generally don't know up from down - so it proves nothing that they were involved. Obama, on he other hand as a long record of leftism that makes Ayers a natural associate.

you have published facts which the so-called main stream media have chosen to ignore.
