NPR News

As I was driving I listened NPR news and they were talking about a website called Politifact.com.
I find NPR news to be a reputable source, so I decided to check the website out.


When I was listening to NPR it turned out that Palin had said that Obama was going to raise a sorts of taxes including income taxes, payroll taxes, the death tax, and business taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars. Politifact found that the Republicans were stretching the truth, the fact is that Obama is looking to discontinue the tax cuts that Bush had given to those families earning above $250,000. It only includes wealthier Americans.

Palin also said that she told Congress "Thanks, but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere," but she exaggerated her role. NPR stated that "once the bridge became known as the bridge to nowhere it became the most famous earmark and became a symbol of wasteful spending." Congress was already killing the bill by the time she said "Thanks, but no thanks," and Alaska still received the funds that would have been allotted to the bridge to nowhere.

I am not saying NPR news is always right, but I think they try to be as unbiased as possible.
