The Debate: Did Soros Hijack Factcheck.org?

CheneyThe answer is “No”, but I like provocative titles.

I didn’t watch or listen to the debate, but I read that Vice President Cheney (winner) mentioned Factcheck.org on the air, and George Soros, counting on people’s errors, had the domain “Factcheck.com” redirected to GeorgeSoros.com. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. Apparently it worked.

The American Thinker says:

George Soros seems to have pulled a pretty interesting fast one, following Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate. At that event, Vice President Dick Cheney recommended that viewers go to www.factcheck.org to authenticate provable Kerry campaign inaccuracies. But The American Thinker has discovered something else. Any viewer who doesn’t quite remember the name of the Web site or absent-mindedly types in www.factcheck.com is headed for a direct trip to George Soros’ own droning blog site (which hasn’t got a single fact on it).

Now this is much more interesting than the debate, isn’t it? Another Internet story spreads like wildfire! Since I’m not electing Dick Cheney, I just couldn’t get excited about that debate. This Soros mess, more interesting so keep posted.

Oh, and I guess the debate results should be noted: Cheney 1, Edwards 0. I heard it was boring. If you want to comment on the debate, Soros or both, let the game begin! Let’s see if we’ll get 100+ comments on this one… ;)

What other bloggers are saying…

Vodkapundit for Cheney. While other networks pick Cheney, CBS picks Edwards, according to B4B. Let the bias begin! See Michelle Malkin. Protein Wisdom has a nice round-up. Wizbang says Edwards wasn’t bad, but Cheney is the winner. Castle Argghhh! has an interesting round-up. Shape of Days does the debate post-game show.

Allahpundit is talking about the Factcheck.com deal. According to Dean, the AP wrapped up its story 30 minutes before the debate ended.

This has nothing to do with the debate, but the Carnival of the Vanities is up. I submitted my “black groupthink” piece. I hope it gets lots of attention!

Outside the Beltway does a thorough morning-after round-up. John “Tom Cruise with a mole” Edwards leaves Stacy cold! Check it out. Blogbrother D.C. Thornton gives it to Cheney. Did anyone (besides liberals) call it for Edwards? See Mystery Pollster’s take on the VP debate. INDC Journal has the real deal on Halliburton (If I hear that word one more time!). One of the Power Line guys live-blogged while he prepared for an NBC interview.

What’s this about a lawsuit? Also see the National Debate. Here, too. Open thread at B4B.

More from the almighty Allah.

CBS dumped by local radio affiliate, says INDC Journal.

The Bear comments, too. Joe Carter blogs the VP debate.
