Today I found what will be my favourite site for the ongoing US election: "FactCheck". I do not know why I hadn't heard of it before, but it is exactly what I was craving.

This site is fully funded by a non-partisan foundation and is set up as a sort of "consumer protection organisation" aimed at providing factual information about statements made by both sides of the political race.

From what I have read so far they appear to do a very good job of pointing out factual inconsistencies and/or lies by both McCain and Obama. In the process the articles all provide a wealth of links where the facts of the matter can be verified further.

It almost brings a tear to my eye.
