Simply irresponsible: factcheck.com sends visitors to George Soros site.
Yahoo! News - Cheney Slip Sends Surfers to Wrong Site
As many net-savy people have noticed, Cheney incorrectly cited factcheck.com, when he meant to cite factcheck.org. After the debate, factcheck.com received about 100 visitors per second.
Most people would expect a responsible company, which factcheck.com is not (Factcheck.com is an advertising company in the Cayman Islands, which is a noted tax haven), to redirect the visitors to factcheck.org. After all, factcheck.com did not want its bandwidth wasted by a political mistake. However, factcheck.com redirected to georgesoros.com. George Soros, who runs georgesoros.com, is a partisan liberal who has donated millions to moveon.org and similar less-than-credible organizations. He is also a billionaire (isn't it odd that a billionaire hates Bush, when Bush is supposed to be the president for the super-rich?).
In a commendable act of common decency, Georgesoros.com provides a link to factcheck.org and identifies it as the website Cheney intended to cite.
Factcheck.com people; I hope you're investigated for tax fraud (no evidence for this.. yet). And, Soros has become a half-decent person for a day or two, even though his political opinions are insane.
