Isn’t that what you should do?
Local talk radio guy Hallerin Hilton Hill‘s show this morning was kinda silly. Sure, he did what he always does which is to repeat himself over and over and over and over. But the topic was Harold Ford’s and Bob Corker’s commercials. HHH asked if these were effective. And he also asked if anyone out there had fact-checked any of the ads. Note to Mr. Hill: Maybe that sophisticated fact-checking should be done by, you know, guys with radio shows with the intent and purpose of talking about it on that show. Asking your listeners to do your job is lazy.
The highlight of the show was the caller who referred to a candidate (doesn’t matter which one) as Harold Corker. Truer words were never spoken.

HHH should check WBIR. They are doing a weekly factchecking called Heart of the Matter, I believe. I think WATE has taken a crack at a couple of ads, too.

I try to listen to Hal in the morning but I can only stand about five minutes. He is a shadow of what he was when he started. It is sad to see how owned he is.
When you sell your soul there are consequences.

And then God said, “Let there be FactCheck.org,” and lo, there was, and it was good.
