Word is that the Journal Sentinel is about to launch a big new project, with several staffers, to fact check statements being made during this election campaign.

 


Ho hum.  It will, of course, be a pox on everyone's houses.  It's totally predictable that no political statement will completely pass the newspaper's test.

 


Here's hoping they start there fact checking with the columns and blog of one Patrick McIlheran, a JS employee who never lets an inconvenient fact get in the way of his  right-wing agenda.

 


His editors clearly aren't up to it.  Maybe the new team will be.

 


Wanna bet?

 

UPDATE: If Paddy's too close to home, they could always check Cousin Charlie's report on the Pelosi fundraiser that never was.
