In the FactCheck Mailbag, we feature some of the email we receive. Readers can send comments to editor@factcheck.org. Letters may be edited for length.
Combating the Distortions
You wonder why you keep repeating the distortions and exaggerations on virtually anything that comes out of their political mouths [“Pat Boone Misleads Seniors,” Nov. 17]? Do you have the percentage of people who read you versus listen to them? I’m sure you’re quite low.
You are my go-to source for most of this nonsense. I wish you could find a way to get your voice out there.
