Finding the facts
I've recently been trying to find sites that particularly counter political spin from all sides. I don't like news that accepts the press release of ANYONE. Here are a few site I find very good at doing this.
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting is a watchdog group that keeps tabs on bias on both sides. They have an excellent analysis of the Fox networks use of commentators and pundits. They also recently examined PBS and found them much less liberal than many seem to think.
Two sites that are particularly focused on fact checking major news stories and printing corrections are the Annenberg Political Fact Check and Spinsanity. Both are good for keeping tabs on spin and veracity.
