I'm sure, like a lot of you , I get chain e-mails, and FB chain post about political issues all the time. Most people just re-post , especially if it falls in their political view. On FB and on here, sometimes some of the more outrageous things, I fact check and post the "facts", but usually I just let things slide.
Started reading this site:
which includes a section they call the "truthometer" which fact checks statements made by almost every politician .
If you are looking for a way to kill a lot of hours, and are interested in politics, you will find this site quite interesting (and time killing).
