		<description><![CDATA[Someone whose work we criticized a fair bit in 2004 and 2006 explains why, perhaps, so little was heard from MoveOn.org and other groups in 2008 in this piece from National Public Radio. Money was scarce, but other factors &#8212; such as the presence of factcheckers &#8212; may have had an impact.

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the idea behind our Ask FactCheck feature on the main site.
This week, we looked into a suspicious quote allegedly from President-elect Barack Obama, speaking about urgent gun policy changes. The reader who sent it to us wasn&#8217;t convinced it was legitimate, and our reporting showed it was almost certainly a fabrication. The quote claims [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the nutty rumors, baseless conspiracy theories and sheer disinformation that we&#8217;ve dealt with at FactCheck.org during campaign 2008, perhaps the goofiest is the claim that Barack Obama is not a &#8220;natural-born citizen&#8221; and therefore not eligible to be president under the constitution.
This claim was first advanced by diehard Hillary Clinton supporters as her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve chronicled a lot of misleading, exaggerated and flat-out false claims during this campaign — too many to count. But some rise above the others in their sheer mendaciousness. In our latest article on FactCheck.org, we present a look at the biggest bogus bits of the final five weeks of campaign 2008:

		<description><![CDATA[The Obama-Biden campaign has released an ad as part of its &#8220;closing argument&#8221; to the American people.  But we have a few factual objections to raise.

The ad is called &#8220;Rearview Mirror&#8221; and says that if you &#8220;wonder where John McCain would take the economy&#8221; just &#8220;look behind you,&#8221; alluding to the Bush administration. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sen. Barack Obama has said several times that he has proposed cuts that pay for &#8220;every dime&#8221; of his spending proposals, a claim we&#8217;ve called &#8220;misleading.&#8221; The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center&#8217;s analysis, for one, found that &#8220;without substantial cuts in government spending&#8221; Obama&#8217;s plan - and McCain&#8217;s, too -  &#8220;would substantially increase the national [...]]]></description>

Barack Obama with a mailer that claims the presidential nominee has &#8220;a record of being soft on crime.&#8221; Luckily, our fellow fact-checkers at PolitiFact.com are all over this one.

We count 58 ads with such charges that have aired since Oct. 1. Read all about how they&#8217;re trying to [...]]]></description>
