Earlier this week, we fact-checked the 60Plus.org ads running against Democratic Representatives Harry Mitchell, Ann Kirkpatrick and Gabrielle Giffords. We gave them a "C-"/misleading.
Today, one of the big kahunas in fact checking, FactCheck.org, evaluated these ads, too. Their conclusion? Well, the headline says it all: "Misleading Onslaught by 60 Plus". They did a very good job dissecting the two claims that our article glossed over as "scare tactics": losing your doctors and hurting the quality of care.
I highly recommend reading their article and supporting the non-profit organization that has led the way in fact checking.
