- PolitiFactPolitiFact is a project of the St. Petersburg Times to help you find the truth in politics.
The heart of PolitiFact is the Truth-O-Meter, which we use to rate the candidates’ claims and attacks.
The Truth-O-Meter is based on the concept that – especially in politics - truth is not black and white. Depending on how much information a candidate provides, a statement can be half true or barely true without being false. - FactCheckFactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels.
