Newsweek / Factcheck article

A new low for Newsweek. My comment

I am suprised that you have included the factCheck article in Newsweek. It is a terrible article, and leaves me wondering who factchecks factcheck.org ? A few glaring errors.

1. regarding the SPP and NAU - see this article http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/opedne_paul_rye_080211_wh... - I am suprised that you would use the SPP's own information to define what it is ? Did newsweek accept Richard Nixon's assertion that he is "not a crook" ? Judicial watch has had to file FOIA documents to find out what this organization does, and has shown that they deal with such important issues as immigration, Public Safety and the environment, and all without Congressional oversite.

2. The Article Claims there is not NAFTA superhighway. However it turns out that up until 4 or 5 years ago, the newsmedia was filled with articles on this highway, as local governments scrambled to get their piece of these federal highway dollars. The Fact is that Roads are being built using federal taxpayer money (I-69) and Upgraded (I -35) to carry additional traffic from Mexico, and Canada, through the U.S. at the expense of fixing roads that do not serve the interests of Trade between the countries - so the government is subsidizing mexican imports, through its Highway policies.

I suppose this article is appearing now, because of Ron Pauls Congressional race. The newsmedia of today is truly shameless. Somewhere Edward R. Murrow is weeping.
