Gimme the Truth!

Perhaps I was a bit naive before, but I have been amazed and disappointed in the amount of salt I have to take with everything that our presidential and vice presidential candidates are saying. Tonight, with the second presidential debate in Nashville, TN, I'm going to have take a few more grains of salt.

Here are a few you can go to: CNN, offers fact checks on any statements made by candidates, not just in the debates, The New York Times, will offer live fact-checking during tonight's debate, The Washington Post, will also offer live fact-checking.

I'm sure there is more our there, but here are three, mainstream ones that should be trustworthy.
