Annenberg Political Fact Check
The
Annenberg Political Fact Check is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, "consumer
advocate" for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and
confusion in
U.S. politics. We monitor the
factual accuracy of what is said by major
U.S. political players in the
form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews, and news releases. Our goal
is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to
increase public knowledge and understanding.
The
Annenberg Political Fact Check is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy
Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by
publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg in 1994 to create a community
of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public
policy issues at the local, state, and federal levels.
The
APPC accepts NO funding from business corporations, labor unions, political
parties, lobbying organizations or individuals. It is funded primarily by an
endowment from the Annenberg Foundation.

The Political
Compass (test)
There's
abundant evidence for the need of it. The old one-dimensional categories of
'right' and 'left' , established for the seating arrangement of the French
National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex
political landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's
Russia? Are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have
adopted the right-wing views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher ?
On the
standard left-right scale, how do you distinguish leftists like Stalin and
Gandhi? It's not sufficient to say that Stalin was simply more left than
Gandhi. There are fundamental political differences between them that the
old categories on their own can't explain. Similarly, we generally describe
social reactionaries as 'right-wingers', yet that leaves left-wing
reactionaries like Robert Mugabe and Pol Pot off the hook.
That's
about as much as we should tell you for now. After you've responded to the
following propositions during the next 3-5 minutes, all will be explained.
In each instance, you're asked to choose the response that best describes
your feeling: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree or Strongly Agree. At the
end of the test, you'll be given the compass, with your own special position
on it.
The test is entirely anonymous. None of your personal details are
required, and nothing about your result is recorded or logged in any way.
The answers are only used to calculate your reading, and cannot be accessed
by anyone, ever.
