too bad that they don't have someone right there to blow a horn when someone says something incorrect.

◾Carly Fiorina said that the Planned Parenthood videos released by an anti-abortion group showed “a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.” But that scene isn’t in any of the videos.

How interesting that this is the one thing from the article that you fastened upon...



http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...-watch-planne/

that's from politifact, that rates fiorinas claim as mostly false.
this article discusses her claims, and what all they found, including that pp has no such video. no one has such a video showing what she claimed.

The "Center for Medical Progress"'s truthfulness is right up there with PETA's horse racing "sting" video. Yeesh. How people can be so incredibly dumb as to think that hearing a voiceover during footage means that's the actual scenario the person is describing is mind boggling (let alone "someone said they saw it happen, therefore it happened"). Seriously, "stock footage" people. Look it up.

Speaking of poor uses of stock footage:

It's the vaccine part that really got my goat. Shame on them.

Watch the full video for yourself. It does, in fact, show a fully formed fetus, heart beating and legs kicking. And it shows this while Holly O’Donnell, a former organ harvester who worked for StemExpress at a Planned Parenthood affiliate, graphically discuss the harvesting of a brain from a baby whose heart was beating.

. . . a baby born alive at the same age as the baby whose face and head was cut open to harvest the brain.

Q: Does Planned Parenthood harvest organs from live fetuses?

What’s the bottom line? FactCheck.org is a LEFT-BIASED organization that has sold itself as “Politically NEUTRAL” to America’s voters and media personnel.

The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind FastCheck.org, is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2 million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge “philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms.

Does the LEFT have no conscience at all?

FactCheck.org’s reliability is due in part to its somewhat inconvenient yet also wise refusal to assign simple ratings along a continuous spectrum: it does not summarily declare statements “True” or “False,” but instead provides detailed analysis explaining their incorrectness or incompleteness and lets the reader reach his or her own conclusion.

Critics from all sides have pointed out the bias and editorial nature of some of PolitiFact’s and Kessler’s purportedly objective verdicts.


from all sides...interesting.

and how ironic, free republic making accusations of bias.
if you look backward in this thread, you'll find their (and politifacts) take on the dem debate.

one other thing.....i know some like to 'shoot the messenger' so as to attempt to ignore the message. but, in disparaging that particular messenger (factcheck.org) did you read their debate write up? were they wrong on any of it?
