Will you help PolitiFact fight for the truth?

View this email in your browser Dear PolitiFact reader, I think we're all sick of fake news. One minute you're looking at pictures of your friends' kids, and the next you see a headline so outrageous, it simply can't be true. But with a URL like BostonTribune.com or KMT11.com, it appears legit. To make matters worse, the term "fake news" has become a standard claim used by any politician, or  person, who doesn't like what they hear. Take President Donald Trump: He used the term at least 400 times in 2017. That's why we created our fake news quiz to help you better detect if the website you're reading is legit. And we're partnering with Facebook to help you sort fact from fiction in your social media feeds. You're welcome! PolitiFact exists because you deserve the truth. We insist on the facts, and so should you. But we can't do it without your help.   Will you help PolitiFact fight for the truth? Yes, I support the work you're doing!

Your Kavanaugh-Ford hearing questions answered

Trump presser; Kavanaugh hearings View this email in your browser Senate hears Brett Kavanaugh's accuser Christine Blasey Ford arrives to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington on Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018. (AP) When Christine Blasey Ford stood before the Senate Judiciary Committee and took an oath to truthfully tell her story about President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, she became part of an extraordinary hearing. Over the course of four hours, Ford answered questions about an assault she says took place in a bedroom some 36 years ago. After she was done, Kavanaugh refuted the charges through aggressive back-and-forths with Democratic senators, and frequently choked up. The hearings raised many questions, but not all of them have clear answers. Read our report that looks at the following questions: What were the key takeaways of the testimony of both Ford and Kavanaugh? Why was a prosecutor asking questions instead of Republican senators? Who is Mark Judge? Why wasn't he there? Did two other women who accused Kavanaugh of misconduct refuse to testify? The hearings also brought back memories of when law professor Anita Hill accused nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Thomas was ultimately confirmed as an associate justice in 1991. Comparisons of the cases have been made on television and social media. Before the hearing started, we examined some of the similarities and differences between the high-profile hearings, including the hearings, the investigative process and public opinion. Read our complete report.  We also have been debunking Internet rumors about the nomination; most of the messages we've seen have been attacks on Ford's credibility and motives. We looked at claims that she has a longstanding grudge against Kavanaugh over a foreclosure ruling and that she has monetary interest in protecting abortion rights. Both claims are wrong; read our complete report.  Join the Truth Squad Your membership supports our journalism Trade in 5 charts Our latest midterm report is on trade and tariffs Pants on Fire!
