Good series of fact-checks about the recent Tea Party debate by republican candidates. This New York Times blog post includes near-live fact-checks from seven different journalists, including writers from the Texas Tribune. Their notes are generally factual and fair, but lack the depth of a full report from PolitiFact or FactCheck.org. However, some of these fact-checks were posted as the debate went on, which is a feat in itself.
