Founded in 2000, RealClearPolitics is a Chicago-based site that aggregates news from a plethora of sources including the Chicago Sun-Times, The New York Times, and Salon.com. If that's not enough, you'll also find editorials, political news and analyses, transcripts and speeches, and the most recent poll data.

FactCheck.org is a non-partisan nonprofit website that describes itself as a "'consumer advocate' for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics." It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.
Most of its content consists of rebuttals to what it considers inaccurate, misleading, or false claims by politicians. FactCheck has also targeted misleading claims from various partisan groups.
