New WSJ/NBC Poll Disastrous for GOP

But the bias charge would ring false if everybody was using the same fact checkers.

Think of it as a single agency that syndicates its services to the networks, like an AP or Reuters. Because its reliability is its brand, it would strive to be a stringently factual as possible.

Like a Good Housekeeping seal or Underwriter's Labs.

It accomplishes a secondary purpose: networks that won't subscribe to its scrutiny can then deal with being discredited.

The idea isn't invalid because somebody perverted it.

Plus, the reason they did what they did is good ole' conflict of interest, and the ability of firms to "rating shop" if they didn't like what one agency gave them.

Would it really be that hard to execute? You could even use one or both of existing ones, like Politifact or Factcheck.org.

Not if they all, or most of them, did it.

And wouldn't that be something--everybody knowing a politician was openly refusing to go on shows where he'd be fact-checked?
