Radio Pick: Truth Telling in the Media

TORONTO, ONTARIO - This week's radio pick will already be familiar to regular readers of this blog.

Minnesota Public Radio often airs excellent forums that have occurred at the University of Minnesota, and this week the Midday show played an important one from the Humphrey Institute. Representatives of PolitiFact.com and FactCheck.org talked about their efforts to categorize political speech, and what they have found in the McCain and Obama presidential campaigns in this 54-minute program. Their comments about the impact of their sites on the media in general and the campaigns themselves were especially interesting.
