    When politics are involved I would like writers to add fact checks

    When politics are involved I would like writers to add fact checks...

    I just don't see any of that here . This man has had differences of opinion with Gov. Palins Church . His story will surely be slanted . Can you find a witness to the request to ban the book ?

    I live in NJ and would be happy if our former Governor Jim Mcgreevey's book were never to be graced by the eyes of a school aged child .Not because he is gay but that he tells of having sex with strangers a the rest stops on the NJ Turnpike (and other such things) (yes while serving as Governor). You could say I want to ban a gay mans book but I'm just hoping kids don't read it and think gay men are dirty .

    Well I guess I went off topic a little.

    The point is that I wish for some fact checks to be added to stories in the future .

    Thank you .
