Election 2012: Actually.org Says Truth Matters
This political season, the one thing that's been on trial more than any candidate or his actions has been what's actually the truth.
A new campaign seeks to bring truth to politics with laughter.
(The Root) -- Who cares about the truth?
This political season, the one thing that's been on trial more than any candidate or his actions has been what's actually the truth. Fact-checking websites are more popular than ever, even as their own truth-telling capabilities [6] have been called into question. At this point -- when #SayAnything2012 [7]is in such full swing -- what are we all supposed to do?
Mock the holy hell out of all of it.
Actually ... [8], a new project that just hit the Net, seeks to do the job of fact-checking while adding a healthy dose of humor. Public figures such as Rosie Perez, W. Kamau Bell, Jay Smooth and others (full disclosure: I'm one of the others) tackle some of the magical half-truths and ridiculousness that have come out of the Romney-Ryan campaign.
Check out the first release from the campaign, featuring Perez tackling Romney's desire to be Latino to help him win the election.
