The Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats is having a forum on term limits and the Bloomberg Putsch this Thursday, October 23 2008, 7:00pm - 8:00pm

CBID is having its general General Membership meeting and a forum on term limits at Old First Reform Church on 7th ave and Carroll in Park Slope.

Last CBID forum at Old First I went to was quite good, discussing impeachment and Iraq with Yvette Clarke, Anthonly Weiner and an unusually petulant Jerrold Nadler. So I have high hopes for their term limits forum.

Wonder if David Yassky will attend to hear his constituents' opinions?

Sorting out the "truth" may seem a treacherous endeavor in such a politically polarized time. But we believe our journalists can play a greater role as an honest broker for voters bewildered by the barrage of campaign talk.

So in a move rare for a news organization, we're dedicating a team of reporters and researchers to meticulously examine the rhetoric of candidates and their partisans, and then make a call: Is the claim true or not?

You might think such work would be standard journalistic fare. But many news organizations can spend less money and get less grief if their political reporting sticks to stenography and puffery.

It's easier to record the words and claims of competing candidates than to vet their accuracy. It's easier to write about the strategy of using negative advertising than to do the painstaking research to sort out whether the claim is actually true or false.

— Neil Brown, Executive Editor of the St. Petersburg Times, announcing Politifact, a new project to determine whether candidate statements are actually true.
