For plenty of journalists, objectivity means not an effort to get at the truth but the process of quoting a spokesman on either side of every issue. Fortunately, the folks at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center are a bit old-fashioned: At FactCheck.org, they scrutinize the claims made by presidential campaigns and partisan groups, sorting fact from fiction. So far, they haven't revealed a bias of their own: They've pointed out a series of misleading claims from the Bush camp about John Kerry's voting record but also defended the president's against attacks from environmental groups.
