Fact Checking the Fact Checkers

One of the most egregious things I have noticed is the use of "fact checking" as a political tool in recent months. From CNN fact checking a SNL Skit now to the Associated Press (I thought the "press" was bi-partisan?) fact checking Palin's new book "Going Rogue".

The question becomes, who fact checks the fact checkers? It appears as though media outlets like CNN and now the AP are using "Fact Checking" as a way to discredit Obama opponents, instead of actually reporting the news.

Did anyone fact check "The Audacity of Hope"? I couldn't find one!

How about fact checking Will Farrell's spoof of George W Bush? Nope!

How is it that the media has become so biased nowadays and no one seems to be paying any attention. Folks like Olbermann and the drones on CNN spout off about Fox enws being an opinion station likened to the GOP or talk radio, but then THEY THEMSELVES have whored themselves out to Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the Lefties in congress and NO ONE calls them out on it?

This is getting utterly ridiculous, people!

BTW, if anyone is interested in seeing a GREAT article Fact Checking the Fact Checkers of Palin's book: Check out this great article.
