    Leave it to FOXNews... Plenty of the fact checks below were taken way out of context. At least Biden knows the issues rather than just how to dodge them.

    Over the years, I've watch Fox news go from being respected to being just this side of Jerry Springer.

    The journalist version of gawking at a fatal accident.

    Unlike Palin, I can name where I get my news:

    AP
    Reuters
    New York Times
    Washington Post
    Denver Post/RMN
    BBC
    International Herald Tribune
    CNN (in small doses)
    PBS
    Chicago Tribune
    Izvestiya
    WSJ
    The Economist
    Bloomberg
    Russia Today
    Xinhua

    Depends on the topic. It's interesting reading how news agencies not under the control of corporate America report the news.

    Nobody has truly addressed the article yet!

    Would anyone like to address the article I linked?

    I haven't watched the debate, so I cannot judge whether what biden said or did not say was correct, or if it was taken out of context.
    Biden gets slammed by FOX which if a front for the republican party.

    It's not different from Palin getting slammed for what she reportedly said by some other news source.

    I think it's sad that news sources can have such obvious party afiliations. How the hell are you supposed to get neutral reporting?

    factcheck does a reasonable job of pointing out misstatements, errors, and lies from both parties in all the debates. Having read that, I don't really feel compelled to see what the experts at Fox think.

    Biden claimed that Cheney is the most dangerous VP ever and based that claim on what he said was Cheney's misunderstanding of the Constitution. That Biden was wrong in what he laid out as Cheney's misunderstanding points to Biden's own misunderstanding of the Constitution.

    What's the point? If misunderstanding the role of the VP makes you the most dangerous VP ever, and Biden misunderstands it, then by Biden's own standards he is running to be the most dangerous VP in history

    Say it ain't so, Joe!

    He called a restaurant by it's old name, who cares, people's 401K's are losing value, there's a war going on , Americans and other's are dying, people are losing their homes and jobs, but he republicans want to discuss these minute senseless details, if times were good I'm sure they would have gotten away with it too.

    I go to a restaurant all the time, been going there for about 25 year's we call it Gus', that's what the regulars all still call it (it's actually the The Village Restaurant).

    Biden is trying very hard to look stupid, and he's being very succesful at it. Perhaps Hillary is paying him under the table.
