Fact checking
Posted By nikki on August 1, 2008
I have found it very interesting over the past several weeks to see how the political spins have been going on over the past couple of weeks. I had hoped that the focus of the campaign was going to be over the issues, such as the economy, the war, etc., but lately the McCain ads have been focusing on trying to put a negative spin on everything Obama has been saying or doing. I’ve learned that you can put a negative spin or positive spin on everything in life - if you look for the bad, you will find it. If you look for the good, you will find THAT.
Several times over the past few weeks I have been watching television news stories where they do a segment that they refer to “fact checking” where they take statements that the different candidates make and then do some fact checking and report on what statements are true, and which are false. I have found it very interesting that the fact checking has repeatedly indicated that the McCain statements have been false, and the Obama statements have been true. I find it disturbing that so many of the McCain strategies have been going in the direction of negativity. I wish they would cut it out.
