Michele Bachmann fumbles the facts - CNN.com
And oh, what a surprise; they're starting out with Ms. Bachmann.
(CNN) -- There's an old saying that a lie can go halfway around the world while the truth is putting its boots on -- and in politics, a steady drumbeat of misinformation and mischaracterization can too often shape the national debate.
So we wanted to set up a regular online column to confront fear-mongering with the facts, whether it comes from the right or the left during the 2012 campaign. Working with the CNN research team, we'll investigate candidate claims and call bull when necessary. At a time when partisan spin can disproportionately dominate our democracy, this is an attempt to be an independent voice and an honest broker.
And oh, what a surprise; they're starting out with Ms. Bachmann.
