I send this e-mail to Factcheck, as well as calling their office and left message asking the same question.

Quote:
Just curious as to why you refer to the Swiftvets organization as Republican funded, and yet you do not refer to the Moveon organization as being Democratic funded?


Here's their "Out of Office" reply:

Quote:
Thanks for contacting FactCheck.org

Your message WILL be read, and we do appreciate all suggestions, questions
and comments. We often base our articles on questions posed by you, the
user.

We are receiving such a crush of messages that we may not be able to respond
individually, however.

Please note also that we lack the resources to research state or local
matters and concentrate our efforts on looking at factual claims made by and
about the current presidential candidates.

Brooks Jackson, director
FactCheck.org


In my phone message I let them know how disappointed I was in their organization and the obvious bias they have presented with regarding to this issue. Also let them know that I would no longer feel comfortable quoting their website as an accurate, unbiased, assessment of an issue.

I was surprised too.

Like most of the media they reported the Boston Globe "recanted" story as true, whithout pointing to the affidavit By Mr. Elliot.
