Fact Check, Please

Editor, Times-Union:
I would strongly suggest we each fact check our statements that are included in our letters to the editor.
Some useful sites are:
Media Bias/Fact Check

FactCheck.org
https://www.factcheck.org
Snopes.com

Let’s all agree to double check not only statements made by those we tend to distrust but also those with whom we normally feel comfortable before we include them with our opinions in letters to the editor. No one wants to be deceived; let’s make certain we are not unintentionally deceiving ourselves and others with our letters.
