I also can't believe how many false truth's are being believed by the uninformed public. I think this is great and that lies will be determined much earlier-- but I wish there was a way to present this information as quickly to the individuals who aren't as connected as we are.

During the debate, i was thinking, "dang, why isnt there a way to find out who is lying and who isn't?!" They had a lot of times when it was obvious that both of them couldn't be right on the topic. Awesome idea, and i hope they do it for McCain and Obama's next debate! This is such an awesome idea!

However, after scrolling through a few pages, I think definitely what one fact-checker said was really smart: they need to be posting a live transcript to make it easier for people to catch things. Other than that, kudos to NPR. This is a really fantastic idea.
