Customer Reviews
Great app!
I know the right wing isn't used to dealing with facts so it is not surprising that they wouldn't like this app. Maybe those of you who feel there is a left leaning bias should take a long hard look at your party and realize that while all politicians will make false statements on occasion and lie from time to time, the Republican party has made it part of their platform.
Pulitzer Prize Winner
This site won a Pulitzer Prize in 2009 for good old fashion investigative reporting. Glad to have the mobile version.
Very unbiased
The only way you would think this app is biased is if you only watch fox news. For the majority of Americans this app is unbiased and only deals in facts which it lays out for you.
