Both are important to compelling social or political commentary and
discussion. Unfortunately, in the "blogosphere", too many provide
plenty of passion but very little credible fact.
That's why we ask our
contributors
to be sure to provide appropriate attribution and to check their facts.
Also to keep their passion focused on the viewpoints and not the
correspondent.
Our two favorite and most used (and most used by our readers to let us know of mistakes) fact checking sites are
FactCheck.org (political fact checking) and
Snopes.com (Urban Legend validation). We highly recommend both. Also, our
resource page provides other valuable fact sources.
We love your passion but need your credibility as well.
